Birthday Afternoon

Since Carter's birthday falls on the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend this year, and thus, many of our friends are away, we decided that rather than expending energy on a poorly attended birthday party, we'd spend all our time and energy to simply make sure Carter has a terrific day (though we are ending the day with a small party with grandparents).

We started the birthday excursions at an indoor, inflatable play space, where Carter climbed, bounced and slid. We also gave him a doughnut while we were there. After every bite he'd run to the water fountain for a drink and then go into the bathroom to wash and dry his hands. After every, single bite.

Next, we hit the kids area at a local art festival

Then it was time for birthday pizza (Carter is sporting a mask he made at the festival)

And then home, for a failed nap time, putting the finishing touches on his cake (pics to come later) and more fun with his new dance cam

Dude, non-family-close-friends birthday parties are overrated. Sounds like a three-year-old's perfect day! And, thank you for all the posts!!
