We decided to go all out and let Owen have a real friend birthday party this year. He decided he wanted to go ice skating. I was a little nervous about taking a bunch of 4 to 8-year olds ice skating but we did it anyway and it was a blast. They started out with a little party with pizza and ice cream and then went ice skating. We figured the kids would last less than an hour ice skating but they surprised us and we literally had to drag them off the ice after almost 3 hours! Owen got to ride the zamboni, then a sled, then got to race a big tricycle on the ice since he was the birthday boy. We couldn't have imagined a better party and he said it was the best birthday ever, although we've realized he says this every year.

Owen and Mike, the guy in charge of the party.
Jack skating. We're were shocked that Jack stayed on the ice the whole time. He pushed buckets around the whole time for balance and didn't want to leave.
Owen skating. He'd only been once before but he did really well.

It looks like a great birthday Owen! Where was my invitation?
I love that Jack and Owen are wearing matching outfits. And what a smart and cheap idea, those buckets!!
