"I didnt think skateboarding was this hard" Zaks bday party

WE celebrated Zaks 5th bday with a party at the Lawrence Hall of Science at Cal Berkeley. I have many very fond memories of hrs on end at the LHS going to workshops and taking classes as a child,so when we found that they now do birthday parties i was excited to try one out.
The kids had a 45 min workshop/class on Marble Track making. Each 2-3 kids worked together and built a track for a marble to roll down and land into a basket. The teacher heloed some and of course parents heloped as well. Everyone seemed to have had a great time. Theme? Super Heros....and i do mean super heros.
Zak got alot of fun new gifts,including a skateboard and protective gear. Our good friends the Pollingers felt that he just had to have one since their 4 yr old daughter(quite the little spark plug) LOVES hers and is quite good at rideing it. She evens pops it up and under her arm. LOL LOL LOL SO we are working on balance,mid eve while Zak was practicing he says "mommy,i didnt think skateboarding was this hard" lol we laughed,laurel took it and showed us a "trick" she squatted down on it and held it while she did a foreward roll. LOL. We had a great day,another birthday party success story and another year for Zakary. I cant believe now that both the "twozies" are now Five "fivezies".
