Jonas turned 7 on October 8th. He is growing up to be such a smart, funny boy. He is very interested in science right now, and decided to have a volcano birthday party. We invited all his cousins, Brynn, Bransen, and his friend Denny from school.
"Hot Lava" game (like Marco Polo)
Making our own volcanoes!
Our balloon race - don't let the balloon touch the ground!
Presents!
Our volcano drawing contest - The kids actually got really into this!
Cake Time! We put sparklers in the middle of the cake to be the exploding lava.
The next day we went out to Collins to celebrate Jonas' birthday with the Gabels. Duane did a Mentos/Diet Coke experiment and the kids blasted off a rocket with Papa.
We spent most of the afternoon outside finding caterpillars, playing on the trampoline, and launching apples into the woods with a giant slingshot.
Then it was time for LOTS of ice cream cake!
And, of course, presents!
Thanks to everyone for sharing Jonas' special day with us!
