Henry turned SEVEN years old last Saturday! He woke up bright-eyed and ready to start the day well before the sun came up.
We let him open his big present from us first thing.
Realizing what is is...
his first telescope! We researched it a lot and settled on the FunScope as a good introductory scope for kids and adults. Henry has really been into astronomy lately.
After opening his first gift, we stuck a candle in a stack of pancakes and sang to our big 7-year-old.
Saturday was a dreary, rainy day, so Henry opted to visit the science museum. We got there first thing since we knew it would be crowded (and it was!). We explored the animals, dinosaurs, and butterfly center and then watched "Life in the Universe" at the planetarium.
This boy loves to get bugs out of the vending machine in the butterfly center. He chose cheddar cheese flavored larvae!
Will got some too!
After lunch, the boys played video games with Gene, and then Henry and Gene ran a couple of important errands (getting cupcakes from Crave). Henry requested dinner out at Tokyohana (aka, the Restaurant with Fire).
Back home, we enjoyed cupcakes from Crave and sang again to the birthday boy.
The evening ended with a star party at the Arboretum, which was unfortunately a bust because of all the rain and cloud cover. Still, we had a fantastic day celebrating our big seven-year-old boy and some of his favorite things!
