Well...Alex is officially six years old! He kicked off the celebration of his sixth birthday with an ARMY themed birthday party. The week before had been warm and beautiful...then the weekend hit and the weather took a nose-dive. It was chilly (50s) and misting, but we made the best of it. Alex had tons of fun as did his guests...I can honestly say that I didn't hear one kid whine, at least not about the weather!
PARTY ITINERARY
ARRIVAL: Fold and decorate paper airplanes.
INTRODUCTION OF DRILL SERGEANT: Drills and a game of 'Drill Sergeant Says'
OBSTACLE COURSE
PARACHUTE GAMES
SNACK and DRINK
RESCUE MISSION: Find and rescue their fallen comrade.
GRENADE ATTACK: Attack army men with water balloons.
PAPER AIRPLANE FLYING CONTEST
CAKE AND ICE CREAM
PINATA'
PRESENTS
We had to change up the itinerary a bit because of the weather. We stuck mostly to the original plan, but had the kids set up the army men upon arrival instead of doing the paper airplanes. We had to scratch the obstacle course because the ground was so wet, but were able to do everything else...just a little bit out of order. We don't have pictures of 'Drill Sergeant Says' or the 'Parachute Games' because I forgot to hand off the camera until after the parachute. Thanks to Papa for the birthday party photos!
