Before I talk about our very fun Sunday, I will post a bit more about Henry's party. We had his party at the Fire Museum, which was just perfect. It is a great place - interactive, educational, clean, air-conditioned, and never too crowded. We've been having a heat wave here so the "air-conditioned" part was key. The car temperature read 99 degrees yesterday. Yikes.
Many of Henry's friends, both from school and otherwise, were at his party yesterday, and he loved it. I could hear "Henry, wait for me" almost all day. I think that kids that age are borderline incapable of walking places. They run, and boy did they run around that museum yesterday. They also gave the slide and fire pole quite the workout. The kids played for about an hour, and then we had cake. The Transformers cake was a big hit and pretty tasty too. As I said yesterday, Henry loved when everyone sang Happy Birthday to him. He was grinning ear to ear, and eating up the attention.
Post-cake, the kids played for a little bit longer, we cleaned up, and headed out. An hour and a half is the perfect amount of time for a birthday party. Time to play, time to have cake, and time to get home. We lost a few balloons to the ceiling of the Fire Museum, but most of them went home with party guests or us.
After the party, we had some heavy snack food and drinks at our house. It was a great day to end the day. Most of us were in bed before 10pm.
Today was also very fun. My mom and Glen came for brunch on their way out of town. After they left, we went out in my brother's boat! He is actually staying for the week and brought his boat with him. We went to a bar at a marina that is about a 45-min ride away, had some drinks, and came back. We saw some dolphins playing in the water while we were riding around. Very pretty.
We are going to grill and take it easy tonight. Jim, Kathy and Kevin are heading back to Virginia tomorrow so we are going to enjoy their company tonight before they have to head back to real life.
