The Boy's 6th Birthday

Collin turned 6 on Thursday. We celebrated by going out to dinner to the T-Rex restaurant out by Legends.



We had been here several times before and its actually not that annoying.  It's dinosaur themed, of course, and different sections of the restaurant are set up as different stages.  The upstairs is the ice age, the back area is the lava room, and the bar area, where we sat, is under the sea.  The very first time we went here they sat us in the back, behind a boulder and next to the server station.  Not very fun for a child, and even more upsetting to an adult.  But we've had fun ever since.

Collin got to do something different this time.  They have a station set up in the gift shop where you can break a rock in half.  Special rocks with crystals in the middle.  It was pretty cool.

Saturday afternoon was his bowling party with a few friends from school.  We did this last year as well with twice as many friends, but decided to tone it down a little just to keep things less hectic.   

As you can see, he's a big fan of the orange fireball.
