Isabella's Birthday

Papa having the day off for Good Friday was a nice surprise. We didn't realize he had the day off until the day before, so it was fun to have him included in all our plans!

Had to start off the day with opening presents.
For Isabella's birthday this year we took a trip down to Kaleidoscope and Crown Center. The kids had a lot of fun! I think I would have had more fun if I had remembers that it was Good Friday and that schools would be out and the place would be PACKED. But we survived.

One thing Isabella knew for sure was that if at all possible she wanted Mia to be in on her birthday. We were very thankful to have that work out, the girls had lots of fun!

Walking into the "black light room" at Kaleidoscope.
Some of the markers showed up all glowey under the black light.

Next we headed over to Fairy Tale Village. They had lots of different houses and scenes from fairy tales that the kids got to walk through.
Here's Cinderella's carriage.

Going into Sleeping Beauty's Castle.

Jack and the Beanstalk.

Then we ate lunch at Crayola Cafe.
The place mats were coloring pages

Yummy birthday sundae!

Fun day!
Still to come:
Playing at Aunt Lora and Uncle Lou's house and visiting Grandad.
And Lunch out and Painting Pottery with Ella.
It was a packed full birthday!

Neato day! Good pics and that group shot on the funky couch rocks. So did your bouquet on the table for her b.d. Great tradition when the bd is during flower season!

I vividly remember going to Kalidascope when I was younger. It was so much fun. We'll have to do that one of the times we visit St. Joe in the future. So far neither of my kids would care.
Looks like a really fun birthday though. Glad her friend could go.
