Sam, Henry, Mom, and Dad joined in to give Sam his celebratory send-off to his next geologic epoch. Mom had done a fantastic job of putting together a host (not too much...not too little) of paleontological activities including hatching dino eggs (inflated balloons with dinos inside), breaking open "rocks" to find "fossilized" dinos inside, and several other activities that the kids "dug." Here Sammy gives one of his fossils the "what-for" to get at that dino inside.
Sammy shows his dino bootie!
The Pith Helmets was one of Dad's ideas. Actually, Dad may have only contributed one or two total ideas with Mom doing the bulk of the planning.
After a few more searing-hot minutes outside in a climate not unlike what the dinosaurs actually experienced the crowd went inside for some dino-cake. This time the "made in China" birthday candles actually managed to relight unlike last year.
Then the feeding began. Below, Henry, and his friend Christopher share a moment, a mess, and some cake goo as they check to see which one of the two has attained the most revolting tongue color.
Sammy, always one to "Ham" it up for the camera, poses. Sam really had a great time. It was a small party as several of his friends were out of town for various Summertime activities. But the folks that were there made for a great 4th!
Stay tuned for next month when Henry has his 2nd birthday party from Minnesota!
