E had a great birthday yesterday. My sister-in-law Miranda and I took the kids up to Discovery Gateway, a children’s museum in Salt Lake. They loved it. There was lots for them to do and explore.
L and E in a fire engine conveniently built with two steering wheels.
E and L at a construction play site.(Lately E has been really into hats. If there’s one around, he’ll put it on. Last week he was wearing some other kid’s hat when I picked him up from daycare at the gym.)
Clambering around in a defunct Life Flight helicopter than was donated to the museum.
A, Miranda’s daughter, was a trooper while we were there.After we got home I baked E some dairy-free, egg-free cupcakes from a mix by Cherrybrook Kitchen and then E and I went to the store to buy him some balloons (still one of his very favorite things). When N got home from work we had dinner and then cupcakes and presents.
The cupcake (and frosting) was well-received.
We gave E a Yo Gabba Gabba themed toy guitar. (He keeps unwinding the strings on his ukulele so we thought he’d do better with a string-less toy.)
And this toy car. Both were big hits.E had a great day. He learned the word “birthday” and kept shouting it in excitement. It was a lot of fun.
