Emerson turns 6!

Emerson's 6th birthday party took place at MOSI and featured an hour on the Ropes Course which turned out to be a bit much for many of Emerson's friends but those who enjoyed it raved about it long afterwards. There were some kinks -- Gama had to bring cups full of ketchup from the cafeteria in the other building for the chicken tenders, the pinata had to be held by Eric on top of a chair and Ethan was not happy with how much loot he scored in the mad scramble after the pinata came apart -- but in general it was a success! Soap-encased dinosaurs were the party favors (handmade with love, and scalded hands, by moi) and Emerson got to fulfill a long-held dream of doing the Mold-a-matic to get his very own T Rex. We also benefited from a visiting "Dinosaurs in Motion" exhibit where enormous metal dinos could be moved via levers by the kids. Happy Birthday Emerson!
