The spring partying carries on, and our oldest turned 8 this year! I say it every year, and it's still true: I can't believe it! Every day he becomes more and more articulate, and I can start to see the beginnings of mature thoughts. It's so fun!
This year we got Tiernan one big present which was a bike. He absolutely LOVES riding bikes, so he was so excited. His old bike was too small and the brakes were trashed, so it was time. He's still learning how to use the gears, but definitely feels more like a big boy with a bike like Dad's.
He chose to go the Denver Museum of Nature and Science this year for his birthday. I was surprised that all the kids seemed to like it more than I thought they would. I thought for sure we'd make this big trip down there only for them to be bored one hour in. We were there a few hours and only left because the museum closed. We'll definitely be back (especially since it was cheaper for us to buy an annual family membership than a one time visit!)
Their favorite section was the kids' area. It was pretty crowded though, so that was kind of frustrating. We managed to wait our turn and were able to squeeze in all four big boys in one area at a time.
Cameron LOVED the dinosaur area. He especially like watching the workers clean off the huge bones. He declared (again) that he was to be a paleontologist and work at the museum when he grows up!
Here we are partying like rock stars. Tiernan chose an off-roading cake from the bakery. There, I said it. I didn't home-make my kid's birthday cake.
