We celebrated Dylan's birthday a couple days early. He picked a birthday lunch of steak and root beer. :)
We started his party off with making pet rocks. The kids actually really enjoyed this far more than I had expected and I wish now that I had put more effort in collecting supplies..... oh well! :P
I was able to rent a conference room at the library to avoid possible cold weather at the original location. I'm so grad I did because it worked out amazingly well for the set up on the whole party!
The gentleman who came to speak with the kids was AMAZING!! He brought so many rocks, minerals and fossils to share with the kids including a Mammoth Humerus! The kids all had a great time getting to explore through all the great treasures!
After teaching about each of the items he brought they got to do experiments with different types of minerals and rocks! He was so great at explaining everything to them.
As we were finishing up the party Dylan got to open his gifts. I was amazed how well each one of his friends knew him. His gifts were all so HIM! Crystal growing kit, rock digging, gold panning, lego's and books(plus more I can't think of at the moment)!
I was so glad all the friends were able to make it! Dylan was so excited to see each and everyone of them!
It was overall an amazing party! I think I may have one-up'd the entomology party from 2 years ago and I'm hopping I'm not setting an overly high standard for future parties! ;)
So hard to believe my baby is 9!! The time has gone by far too fast!!
