Avery's Birthday Extravaganza Part 2

Avery's Birthday extravaganza continued last weekend with his official birthday party which we hosted for 9 of his little friends at the Minnesota Children's Museum. The party was animal themed and included activities such as the reading of one of Avery's favorite books, "Polar Bear Polar Bear What do You Hear?" By Eric Carle during which all of the kids did their best animal sound impressions; an art project for the kids to make their own 'box turtle' or some other kind of imaginary animal with odd shaped googly eyes, and even a visit from the musuem's resident turtle. Perhaps the highlight of the party was watching 10 three year olds chase Kevin around and around the room after the cake and ice cream.

Here is a shot of the party crew:

Here is a photo of Avery getting ready to blow out his candles. I'm fairly certain that that is his second or third chocolate chip cookie of the morning.

The festivities did not end here. After playing with his friends in the museum for an hour or so Kevin took Avery to a grad school reunion at a local bowling alley.

And just to top things off - more sugar!
