Today we celebrate Zach's 11th birthday! I seriously cannot believe he is 11. I know he is my stepson, but I have been in his life since he was 5, so yes...I am feeling quite overwhelmed today. We will be heading to dinner tonight...and Zach's pick is Peter Piper...a great place to act like a kid!
This past Saturday we had Zach's party, I would have posted sooner...but life is just busy right now. The theme was a Mad Science Theme. The kids participated in soda geyser and making volcano's. Each kid was given their own 2 liter bottle of diet soda and 7 mentos. Once they dropped in the mentos...the soda shot out of the top! They LOVED it!!
The second experiment that they participated in was making volcano's erupt. My mom helped each kid make salt dough and then they covered their empty 2 liter bottles. We put color dye tablets in the water and poured it into the 2 liters. Once the vinegar and baking soda were mixed in the kids had colored erupting volcano's...another hit indeed!!
Zach's BIG gift was a trampoline! Oh was he ever surprised and excited when he walked into the back yard to see it!! Morgan even enjoyed it...and still does, as she wakes up each day saying "bounce", "bounce".
We had a great weekend and I am looking forward to having some pizza and playing games tonight!
Zach's cake was great, but the kids really LOVED making their ice cream sundaes. I put all of the toppings into test tubes and beakers. Oh...how I love planning parties...Morgan's is around the corner...I'm thinking a little M-I-C-K-E-Y-M-O-U-S-E...just might be involved.......
