We had a great birthday for Monkey. It's been over a month but I've shared with you how crazy we have been over the whole month of April so I'm just not getting around to sharing his train birthday. First let me share that my fears of the party being a big fail were a little over the top. Monkey really was excited to have they few friends and family that were able to come. I have to remember that little ones don't care about things the same way that I think they do. Then to think about the fact that we had to move the party to the next weekend again wasn't that big of a deal for Monkey either and it sure did bring much better weather which meant a fun day at the park instead of having to have all the kids playing in the house. 
OK time to get to the party! Monkey wanted a train party so we had a few little things to make our trip to the park train related. A train hat thanks to Jude's mom who had extras to share. A train track made out of electrical tape on the ground to the table. And of course a few train crossing signs too.
First we let the kids play because you can't bring kids to the park and then make them sit down right away. It was a pretty windy afternoon but nice and sunny which was helpful.
After a little play time it was time to get to our main activity for the day...decorating our 'cakes'. We made trains out of rice crispy treats! Not just normal rice crispy treats though...we had plain, chocolate and rainbow. Can you guess what the kids chose?
Yep RAINBOW! Then it was time for them to add the colored frosting and candies! (This is the reason I wanted it at the park...could you imagine giving the kids this much sugar and having it snowing many inches outside? Not me.)
Time to enjoy the fruits of their labor!
Then a quick present time at the park so we could get out of the wind that was starting to get pretty bad. (It seemed that way then but then I spent 2 weeks in OKC and realized that the wind was nothing here in CO.)
HAPPY 4TH BIRTHDAY MONKEY!
We Love You!
