Josh’s 8th Birthday

Yesterday was Josh’s 8th b-day!! 

He started out the day with presents and chocolate waffles.

He got an art kit, a couple drawing books, new scriptures, scout stuff, Legos, and the rookie perplexus ball.

At 1pm we had 7 of Josh’s friends over for a SCIENCE party!!

We made lab coats and had goggles for everyone.

The first activity was an engineering one.  Who can build the tallest standing tower with marshmallows and toothpicks?

Then we made root beer!  The kids LOVED the dry ice!  It was a big hit!

Next we made bubble gum.

Lava bottles were up next!  This was Josh’s favorite experiment!

After cake, we herded the crazies outside to make snow and have the grand finale of Mentos rockets!

It was a great party!  Thanks to everyone who came and for the presents!

After some recovery from the party, we headed to Chang’s Mongolian Grill for Josh’s birthday dinner.

Josh started to feel yucky when we got home, and this morning woke up with a high fever, sore throat, and cough.  Now Andrew has a fever too.  As long as we get all the sick out of our system by the middle of the week when our family comes and the baptism festivities begin, we will be just fine!

Happy Birthday Josh!

Oh my! What a fun party! I have a nephew that would be in HEAVEN with a party like that. I'm definitely going to have to pass the idea along to my sister. My Ryan would love it all too! What fun parents you guys are.
Good luck with all the baptism festivities! Isn't it crazy that they are old enough to be baptized?!
