Ryan is Nine! Battleship Birthday

My Ryan turned 9 years old a few weeks ago!  He is way into Navy and all things Military.  He wanted to have a Navy party this year.  So...what better place to have it then the Battleship Texas!

We rented the awesome on board private (and air conditioned) Dreadnought room. It was a great room in the 2nd level deck. Super cool vintage Navy posters lined the room...a perfect party room! Each child got a navy sailor hat to wear.

First up was a ship scavenger hunt where they learned all the history of the ship while exploring.

After touring the ship and the hunt we all made it back to the Dreadnought room for snacks and cake. I made a cute Battleship cake which was a hit. Very yummy too! :)

After recharging, it was back to playing on the ship. It was a bit over casted that day so not many tourist were there. We basically had the entire ship to ourselves! The played Navy war games. It was fun to watch. lol!

It was a great day. Ryan just loved it! Every little boys dream to have a real Battleship as their playground for the day! Happy Birthday Ryan!! We love you!
