Lauren & Ben were invited to a really fun birthday party last weekend. It was at the trout farm in Woodinville (where Ryan & I used to go as kids!) and it was so so fun. Hands down the best birthday party- so unique and such a fun experience. The kids all started out by feeding the fish.
Then they decorated picture frames (the mom took pics of each kid with their fish so I'm assuming she's mailing everyone a picture, so cute)

The fish went crazy every time the kids threw food in and were jumping all around.
Then each kid got to catch a fish. It was definitely a good party for dads to be at, lots of baiting and handling of live fish.
Lauren's first few fish got the bait and swam away.
But then she caught one!
It was possibly the tiniest fish in the whole pond, but it didn't matter- it was her first fish and she was thrilled!
It was so tiny it slipped through the net! (The owner actually let her catch a 2nd one since her first was so small, which was really nice.)
Kevin pulling the hook out of it's mouth...like I said, a good party for dads to come to!
So proud of her first catch!
Then it was Ben's turn!
So exciting!
I LOVE the look on his face her, so excited and proud!
Ben definitely had bragging rights, his fish was way bigger!
Once the fish was caught Ben got all nervous around it and refused to hold it or even get too close to the net, this was the best picture we had of him with his fish!
After a hard morning of fishing the kids sat down for some refreshments.
Not only was it a super fun party, the mom is so awesome that she made gluten free pizza and treats for Lauren & I. Doesn't get much better. Such a fun morning!
**For anyone wondering, they gut and clean your fish for you and send it home with you in a bag. They don't allow catch and release which is kind of a bummer because we aren't trout fans but it sure was a fun experience.

What a fun day for everyone. You modern day mom's are very creative. Birthday parties when I was young were very simple affairs. Loved the pics.
agree on the clever parties. Not once did I have anything more fancy than letting some neighborhood kids come over for cake and (MAYBE) ice cream. Much prefer the fun parties of today. And a trout farm is pretty cool.
I love this! My Grams and Gramps always took Kip and I to the trout farm. What a great idea. I see a family trip in our future. Minus Carson. Any takers?
And I love the pure glee on the kids faces. And I am really thankful Kevin was there...for your sake.
