Ocean Aquarium Birthday Party

This year was unique for his birthday. We came home from a vacation two days before his birthday, and stayed with my brother in the twin cities.

I thought it would be perfect to bring him to the local aquarium near to his cousins home to celebrate together.

I knew I needed a creative theme for our winter boy’s birthday.
