Birthday Boy

For Corbin's first birthday we decided to take him to the Indianapolis Children's Museum

He was all ready in his "Mom's Lucky Charm" shirt.



Before starting we thought it would be a good idea to eat.


I told Corbin he couldn't have pizza till he got some teeth. We made an exception, since he only has "tooth" right now.

Our first stop was the Playscape, and area for children under 5.


Our first stop was the water table, a trough with a running current, and floating toys to play with.




We brought Corbin a red toy boat to take home with us.




Some of the sand from the sand pits had migrated over to the water trough.








Thankfully the had plastic smocks, in an attempt to keep the kids dry.





Corbin enjoyed it so much he didn't want to leave.




The next stop was a "gardening" area







A quick stop at the sandpit



After all this, sitting was a popular activity too




We tried sitting in an indy car,

maybe he prefers Nascar?


We decided to take a break for some birthday cake


We also got a smaller cake for Corbin to destroy.












We fully expected Corbin to destroy the cake, surprisingly he was a careful as could be.









He did manage to get frosting allover himself and Gramie.

After cake and all the excitement he fell asleep for almost an hour. He woke up just in time to take a sled ride with mom and dad.


You can see mommy cheated and got a head start on us.






Although he wasn't smiling during the ride, he had a big one on his face at the end.


Our final stop of the day was the Carousel.


He was getting a little cranky by this point, but forgot all about it once the ride started.







By the end of the day Corbin just wanted to head home.


We we put him to bed that night, he stayed up for another 20 minutes "talking" apparently telling his stuffed animals what a great day he had.
