May 3rd was the much anticipated birthday for Magnus. He has been telling us what he wanted for months now and we think we got it. He was very excited to wake up to a living room full of green balloons to start off his Ninja Turtle birthday.
We completed his cake using his parameters. He wanted all the turtles, with one coming out of a “ninja turtle door” (a sewer lid), Krang, and the Technodrome. Ruth made the cake and Dana helped with the fondant construction and placement. He told us he loved it.
When I asked Magnus what he wanted to do on his birthday, he said he wanted to see a waterfall. So we headed to the Gorge. Our first stop was Horsetail Falls, one you don’t have to hike to. The weather was great for waterfall viewing.
We even found a salamander there.
Our second stop was the Franciscan Sisters of the Eucharist Convent. If you ring their doorbell and ask nicely, they will let you walk up to their waterfall: Coopey Falls. This is the only way to view the whole falls. The best part was the Gorge was super busy that day, but because this is a virtually unknown waterfall, we were the only ones there. Plus the grounds of the convent are beautiful.
Back at the house it was time to prepare for his little party. We thought a Ninja Turtle Birthday required pizza for dinner. We also had Ninja Turtle colored fruits/vegies and drinks.

Cake Time, only three candles to blow out:
It was a great day, though I think Gideon thought we should pay more attention to him.
