Count 'em...5!

Once upon a time, there was a boy who wanted to be a paleontologist. 
That time was now. That boy was Henry. Still is, actually.
So, he needed to have a Dino party for the big 5th birthday. 
 We kicked things off by excavating dinos frozen in ice. It was so fun, the kids have asked to do it several times since. Hint: Remember to freeze the ice the night before. It works better that way.
 Then, we played "T-Rex Says". It's kinda like "Simon Says" with a dino hat.
 Then we were on to "Drop the dino in the bottle." They couldn't get enough of this old-school game. Hint: for 5 year olds, a wide-mouth canning jar is probably more realistic than a milk bottle. Just a heads-up. 
 Henry wanted Dino Cupcakes. Done! (That may or may not be frosting left over from Jack's cake. Don't judge). 
 Happy birthday to WHO? That's right, big guy, to YOU!!
 We wrapped up cake time with a little volcanic eruption. Aw, the power of baking soda and vinegar!
 He was a little happy!
 For his actual birthday? Angry bird cake, of course! He loves blue angry birds...
 HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HENRY!!

Henry is known for speaking of himself in third person. 
He wants to be a paleontologist, scuba diver, and race car driver when he grows up. And also a dad. He did, however, inform us that paleontologists don't go to church or have families, and they go out to eat all the time. Who knew?
Hank is pretty sensitive. I have never seen crocodile tears like he puts out! He is a little more introverted than the older two...but that's like saying Tyler is an introvert. Nope, still an extrovert!
