The start of a SUPER busy weekend for one SUPER special 8 year old BOY

The chorus concert was on Thursday and the days that followed are sort of a blur now. My mom came in town for Connor's baptism and it turned out that she got to be there for his party at the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center in Balboa Park as well. Grandma also made it down from Huntington Beach. It's been great to have her close by. Mike and I traditionally like to host our birthday parties at our house. We always come up with a fun theme and we have a blast planning and doing but this year we thought we'd have the party elsewhere since this was only the beginning of the weekend festivities. And since Connor's life ambition is to become an astronaut and an inventor, the science center was just the right place to have his party. Connor invited a handful of classmates to join him. The kids got to check out all the exhibits and then see an IMAX film about the Galapagos Islands. They enjoyed some cake in the Challenger Space Shuttle conference room. They had a great time and it was great for Mike and I to have a break from the clean up!
