Aria is now 5

At Aria's request, we celebrated her 5th birthday by going to Funtastics. 

I tried teaching the kids how to hold a golf club...

But they quickly reverted to their own personal styles.  Aria's was the most interesting to watch. She held her club like a sickle and swung it at the ball like she was going to harvest wheat.  

The kids also had fun going on the rides, like the dragon ride, a mini roller coaster, and a jumpy castle.

They even had mini go carts for little kids.

She did a great job zipping around the course, and every time she drove by where we were cheering her on, she'd look at us and give a big smile.  However, a few times she spent a little too long looking at us and not enough time looking at the race track and almost drove right into the wall.  :)  


For dinner we ate at Sweet Tomatoes, Aria's favorite restaurant, and then came home and had cake, which was decorated just as Aria requested.

Her cake looked so delicious, that Azure tried licking it.  After we shoo-ed her away, Azure was not pleased.  Her scowl reminded me of the one my dad makes when he's not pleased with something. :)

The next day the kids had fun at home making necklaces.  They've really gotten into playing with beads recently.  If you look carefully at this photo, you may notice Zade has a black eye.  Apparently he and Aria was squabbling over something and she clocked him with a sippy cup.  Hopefully it will heal soon.
