1/2 Birthday Celebration Weekend

I think Avery may be one of the few who is super into 1/2 birthdays but they girl can't get enough. We "celebrated" on Saturday by going to the Children's Museum with Aunt Amy. There is a new circus exhibit and we spent our entire visit there. We didn't even make it to see Ruby Bridges!! Avery got to try lots of different circus acts like unicycles, being "shot" out of a cannon, juggling, ladders and acrobatic rings. She also got to do a 3D Virtual Tightrope walk. And the best part was she signed up to be in the circus - Aunt Amy and Avery spent 30 minutes practicing their act backstage and then performed for about 100 people. Avery and Amy were the Cows in the Animal act and they did a great job. At the end Taylor was trying to run up and give Avery a goldfish - she was so embarrassed and trying to shoo him off stage and didn't want to break character.

Taylor spent most of his time climbing a random staircase, playing with someone else's rented wagon and pushing his own stroller around. He did ride the chocolate slide with Amy which he enjoyed but the rest of the time he could have been anywhere and having just as much fun :)

Saturday night we celebrated the 1/2 birthdays with cupcakes provided by KJ and a few small presents. UHS was hosting the boys sectionals so we crashed the hospitality suite for our party. She was one happy girl!! And Tay was just happy to be hanging around and doing Tay things!

On Sunday, Hung spent time working on the house and I took both kids to the movies with Lila, Lena and Bill - It was Tay's first time and he was mesmerized!! He never once tried to get down - watched the entire movie (Rock Dog), danced during the music parts and ate popcorn. At the end of the movie, the kids ran to the front and danced through the credits. It was really fun!
