Carter turns 6!...and The Korean War Museum

SIX?! How can that be?! I remember bringing him home from the hospital Christmas morning as if it was just yesterday! It's amazing how much faster your life seems to go by after kids. We started off the birthday boy's weekend going to a classmate of his birthday party at the arts and crafts center on post! All the kids got to pick a ceramic dish to paint, had pizza, cake and ice cream, and took a shot at the pinata.

 After the birthday party Carter wanted to go bowling and have pizza on post. (American pizza) I'm embarrassed to say, I think this was the kids first time bowling! They were pretty excited and we all had a great time!

Even tracker got in a few frames!

and a hot dog of course!

He didn't think much of their hot dogs! 

 The next day was Carter's actual birthday, and to no surprise, he choose to spend the day at The Korean War Museum. He IS his father's son, no doubt about it! History, military, guns...they are all about it. Addley and I, we couldn't care less....but anything for her favorite big brother and my birthday boy! (We had tried going to the war museum once before on a Monday that Austin was off work, but like a lot things in Korea, they are closed on Mondays. The pictures outside are from that first visit.)

I did find this North Korean 'spy sub' the South found in 1996 interesting. 

Like stepping on Lego's in the night!

South Korean soldier of the future. 

I'm sure the pictures might be more interesting if I could tell you more about them. Next time I'll take notes! After we wrapped up at the museum we headed home for presents, cake, and ice cream. Austin and I make the kids birthday cakes based on the theme of the party. I come up with the idea, bake it, and do my best, then he fixes it! He's much more artistic then I am. I don't have the patience to decorate baked goods.Carter has become a huge Star Wars fan and wanted a Millennium Falcon cake, so we did our best.

Our presentation definitely could have been better, but no one seemed to mind! It was a great weekend celebrating our smart, handsome, by the book, well behaved, sweet, sincere, thirsty for knowledge and too grown up for his age first born! He makes us proud everyday!
