Ashlyn's Birthday Party

      Ashlyn had a science birthday this year.  We decided to have her birthday at an educational toy store that does parties.  They had a bunch of different themes that you could pick from.  Ashlyn loves science at school and decided on a science theme. 
    It was a big success.  She had a lot of friends to celebrate her special day with her.  They had great fun doing all sorts of different science activities.  The party had a host that directed the kids and she was great.  We didn't have to do anything but sit back and watch them have a great time.  They played freeze tag, did experiments, ate cake and did A LOT of laughing.  It was just the party Ashlyn wanted. 

Our pretty party girl. 

My dad picked out this special dress for Ashyn's birthday at American Girl.  It is beautiful and she knew immediately that she wanted to wear it to her party.  She looks so pretty and grown up. 

She wanted a Frozen cake.  I couldn't make a home made cake for her party because of food allergies.

Playing some freeze tag which they loved. 

Time to put on lab coats

The first experiment they did involved surface tension.

They had so much fun counting how many pennies she could put in the cup without it spilling over. 

They all kept getting closer and closer

Doing some experimenting of their own.

Taking  a quick Gracie break

This was a really race where they had to pick up "atoms"

Look at them go!

Dawson did so well picking up the "atoms"

They did another experiment with food coloring, vinegar, and baking soda.

Pretty colors!

Next, they all got to pick instruments and lined up and got to go on a parade throughout the store. 

The parade

She told them to make lots of noise

Cake time!

Blowing out the candles

He had a great time!

Checking on her sister

Since Gracie didn't get cake, she ate her hand instead.

Ashlyn got lots of great gifts. 

Time for one last round of tag

Look at those girls go!
