Dylan's 8th Birthday

Dylan will be turning 8 years old on April 13th. Unfortunately, on that date, I will be away skiing in Banff and Andrew will be away on business in Las Vegas. So, we held his birthday party one week early.

On Good Friday we went for dinner to my sister's house and we had a small celebration for Dylan. My father and his wife joined us for cake and present exchange.

The next day we had a "BIONICLE" Birthday party at our house for seven boys. We stuck a Bionicle on a cake and then we made up several new games including: Visorak's web, Identify the Bionicle and the Metru Nui Bean Bag Toss. The grand finale was a scavenger hunt for which I wrote all the clues using the Matoran Alphabet. Whew! That bought us about 1/2 hour of silence as the boys deciphered the clues with and raced to solve the riddle!
