My LittleBear is five years old!! I can hardly believe it.
He deliberated a good long while about what kind of party he wanted. It very nearly was another fire station party, but in the end, he decided he wanted a train party. As it would happen, one of Waco's most beloved areas is a place called Kiddieland at our local Lion's Park. It's a fun place where families can enjoy mini golf, go kart racing, ride some small carnival style rides and even take a ride on a small train around the park. A two-hour party there was a wee bit more than what we would normally spend, but we felt this was a milestone birthday and so we went for having our train party there...air-conditioned caboose and all!
We had a train cake comprised of two chocolate zucchini cake cars with cream cheese frosting and one applesauce spice cake car with a cinnamon cream cheese frosting. I think for LadyBear's birthday, I'll skip the chocolate entirely and just make the applesauce spice cake because that one went fast!
We all met in the caboose, and had lunch, sang happy birthday, had some cake and then opened gifts.
Then we went and took a group train ride around the park!!!
Waiting patiently for the train...
Train full of party goers!!
Once the train ride was over, the kids could ride whatever rides they wanted until our two-hour time window was up. It was a blast! I had a great time watching all the kids from 18 months up through 8 years old enjoying the rides and each other.
They rode the carousel several times...
Drove a boat or two...
Took a trip in some flying saucers...
And took a turn driving some horse carts...
We had a wonderful time celebrating LittleBear with our friends and family and hope they did too! Happy birthday, LittleBear!!
