So we just celebrated Little Matt’s sixth birthday (photo album here). We started Friday night by going to Cracker Barrel for dinner and picking up a couple of rocking chairs Gigi bought. They’re going to be great for sitting on the balcony in the warmer weather. Maggie Belle has already taken to hers and so far just likes climbing up into it, rocking about twice, climbing back out and then doing it again. Of course Little Matt got more Lego sets. He got another City set from his cousins, a Bionicle set from Maggie Belle, another Bionicle from his dad, and a Clone Wars speeder from Mom. I had to break the trend and get him the most classic games of naval strategy - Battleship!
We had the birthday party on Saturday at the Norfolk Zoo. It was a great event with an animal trainer who actually brought live animals for the kids to learn about and even touch. There was an African millipede, a Pygmy tenrec, poison dart frogs and the coolest of all… a big boa constrictor! Overall it was a busy and fun day. That’s all for now. Happy Birthday Little Matt. I hope you had a nice time.
And as always, check out our store for some great science Christmas presents.
