Harrison's Happy 4th Birthday Party!

You've seen the Drumheller birthday weekend pictures, now here are the pictures from his Dinosaur theme party that was held in a local park along the Bow River here in Calgary. We were lucky to get a beautiful warm day full of sunshine after 2 solid weeks of rain! I had visions of hosting 30 people at the house, but the weather co-operated to make for a very successful children's birthday party...which is not easy to do, for those of you that have not experienced trying to keep 8 kids under the age of 4 all happy!

The festivities got under way at 11am, with a BBQ at noon, followed by roasting marshmellows to keep little hands busy while we cleaned up, (13 mos old Aiden from Australia enjoying his 1st marshmellow roast!) a game of soccer to burn off that extra energy boosted by the eating of the marshmellows, dinosaur birthday cake at 2pm,the opening of the presents, then free time to do whatever tickled your fancy of the many activities the park has to offer: canoeing, peddle boats, train and kiddy rides, splash pool and lots of yummy ice cream!!! It was a blast and everyone had a great time! The best part of the day was that my bestfriend from Australia was able to be there to celebrate the day with us, with her 2 beautiful children and Harrison's best buds! (that is 3 yr old Alberta, named for her mom's home province, in the train with Harrison) We could not have asked for a better day or a better gift!

Happy 4th Birthday little man!!!
