Last month Ari and I had our “Special Mommy-Ari Time” one Saturday afternoon. In preparation I perused many websites trying to find an inexpensive indoor activity for us to share. I looked up our local Science Center (about 1/4 mile from our house) and saw they were planning a party for their largest turtle in honor of his new tank. I knew this was the event for us! Ari already loves going to the science center to look at the snakes and turtles (it’s a pretty small place), but adding cake to the equation would be, well, like adding icing to the cake!
Awaiting Snappy’s entrance into his new tank (this is the only picture Ari would let me take of us together)
There he goes! His new tank is about 3 times bigger than his old one. He is one happy turtle!
Playing on the giant bumble bee and with other various toys.
Making a turtle.
They had turtle snacks, turtle juice, goldfish crackers and turtle cakes!
They insisted on everyone eating the white cake first before they would cut into the turtle-shaped cake. By the time we were leaving there was still white cake left. Ari still talks about going back there to have turtle cake because the white cake will be all gone. That boy and his cake!
The party was during his usual quiet time, but he can go without a nap from time-to-time. Around 5pm he was exhausted and crashed on the couch. What a big day!

That is SO sweet. What a great mom you are and what a fun memory.
How fun, and so close to home. What a sweet picture of Ari sleeping.
Fun times! It's adorable that they had a party for the turtle.
