JBs 9th birthday party...the indoor half of it...

Two things JB wanted to do for the indoor portion of his party...make fire-starters (works like kindling), which involves dipping string-tied pine cones into colored wax and then putting "funky flame" powder on them (an extra:)).


...the other thing JB wanted "indoors" was a Treasure Chest birthday cake.  Gramma Shell did a great job.


Not many kids get to blow our a treasure chest cake on a wood stove.  Enough sun was coming in through the South facing windows that it didn't need to be "on".  Plus, it provided a great kid-level display for the glorious treasure cake.

Treasures galore in your trip to Colorado! So sweet to see these pictures and to enjoy seeing what you've been blessed with over the past few days, including the side trip and bald eagle.
