We celebrated Colin’s birthday party was last weekend at Krispy Kreme. We had a fantastic time! He got to open his presents before the party ended because his friends couldn’t wait for Colin to see what they’d gotten him. As soon as that was done, they brought out his donut cake and my husband carried the gifts out to the car (so that nothing got lost in the shuffle).
Everyone placed a ‘bet’ as to what dragon was going to be in the egg. It took several hours to get the dragon to hatch. The egg lets off all kinds of gas, a salt-looking substance and the water turns red. It’s neat, but boys can all kind of gross things to say about it.
The hatching dragon was an awesome birthday gift! And it made a great family ‘experiment,’ too!
Have you ever hatched a dragon?
