Shannon turns 9!

Sunday, August 12, 2012

This would be Shan's last year of celebrating a single digit birthday! She has been lamenting that there's no birthday celebration for her for the longest time. After much contemplation, we decided to hold a party for her. It's always tiring but fun preparing for party.

She's into ice skating and initially, I thought of letting her inviting some friends to skate at The Rink. However, there's no corner to house the kids for cake cutting and munchies. When I checked with them, they suggested I booked their multi purpose hall at a hefty price of $1200! With some suggestions here and there, we concluded on engaging Mad Science for a hour of fun to engage the kids.We chose the package "Reactions in Actions" which is all about different chemical reactions.

Meant it to be a small party and she only invited few close classmates and of course, another reason for our usual buddies to hang out together. Chose the party to be on 9 Aug since the next day is a school holiday as well.

Oh my! Shan seems such a shortie among her friends! Any recipes to make her grow taller??!!

Instant snow demonstration and Hydrophobic sand - learning the science behind the dry sand despite submerging it in water
Burning money - watching how the money was burnt but it remained unscorched

 Chemiluminescence - a chemical reaction makes light sticks glow
Making Sour power- a fizzy reaction when we demonstrate reactions between an acid and a base.All the kids get to taste this delicious yucky Mad Science drink!

Each child  gets to make and take home a piece of Mad Science slime

And it's turn to sing the birthday song!

Sky went missing with his buddies, Issac and Gerald. Thus, can't get a complete family picture. Tsk Tsk!

The party ended with the kids dipping in the pool with more fun! 

It's National Day and we always make it a point to catch the fireworks. Sign! Despite doing the yearly balloting for NDP, lady luck doesn't seem to favor us. This year, we were extremely lucky! Allan's office in Robinson Road opened for staff to watch fireworks. We had a full view of the fireworks! Happy National Day! And my favorite daughter, Happy 9 years old!
