Since we were planning to leave 2 days after Thad’s birthday in June, we decided to have his party a couple weeks early. I made a cake with a road on it at Thad’s request (made to represent the road to aviation with a bridge and the ‘hanger’ with airplanes at the end). Our friends graciously hosted the party because they had a bounce house that Thad and Thea enjoy playing in.
 |
| Me with the cake--I looked at a bunch of ideas on the internet to figure out what to do: green colored grated coconut for the grass, blue frosting for the water, oreo cookie crumbs for the road, Bush biscuit (like animal crackers) crumbs for the dirt at aviation. We had found these little airplane candle holders at a store, and Jamie painstakingly covered an orange van with white masking tape to make it look like aviation's P2-bus which runs between our centre and aviation. |

| See the bridge over the river...there really is a bridge over the river to drive to aviation |

| Thea LOVED the bounce house! A combination of two of her favorite things: jumping and balls! |
 |
| Thad loves everything with wheels, so enjoyed playing with the big trucks! |
