WOW 10!
It amazes me that we have been parents for a whole decade! This year for Alec's birthday, like Chloe, he had two parties. On his actual birthday all his grandma's and grandpa's, great's included, came over for pizza and strawberry shortcake, Alec's favorite dessert! His second party was much more exciting! I had heard an ad on the radio for birthday parties at the Living Planet Aquarium and immediately thought of Alec. He, Eric and Chloe watch the discovery channel all the time and their favorite programs are about the ocean. Alec hadn't had a friend party since he was 5, so we figured that 10 was a great age to get a party like this. He got to invite 10 friends and cousins to come with us. The party was in a sunken ship and then we got to go on a treasure hunt through the aquarium. There are even a couple "hands on" exhibits where you get to feel some of the animals. Everyone really liked the stingray. It was amazing to reach in and touch them as they swam by!
