Super Hero Birthday Party

On Saturday July 13th we were invited over to a super hero birthday party.  This mom, Porsche, is AMAZING when it comes to parties and many other things!!  She does so much prep work and all the decorations by hand, including the goody bags.  So I went over to help her a couple of days to get a few things ready and the party turned out so AWESOME!!!  There is no way I can top it with my boys but Porsche said she would help plan their birthday party!!!

 

This is Porsche and me standing in front of her photo prop area.  You can see in the top right they are from Texas because there is the Alamo!!!  I love it!!!  Her poor sister was cutting and painting for days to get this finished.

 

The five kids - they are so much fun!!!  They get along so well and enjoy playing with each other!!  Oh and did I mention they made super hero shirts for all the kids?  They put the first initial of their name on them.

 

My boys - being super heroes. 

 

 

Krista and I were in charge of the obstacle course.  They had to do super hero training during the party.  This was for agility, speed and strength.  They had to crawl through our boxes after hopscotching through our duct tape.

 

They then went through cones and had to go down the hill to shoot a hoop to work on their aim.  Of course AJ had to show off and stand up going down the hill.

Michael completed the training and was awarded his super hero mask!

 

AJ's turn

 

Then they had to work on their bomb defusing ability.  So they were told to hit the bomb (piñata)!  LOL  What was kind of funny was that one of the dads there actually does that for a living and said that was the wrong way to diffuse a bomb.  :-)

 

Even Dad's can be superheroes!!

 

Then they were working on their stealth skills playing freeze dance.  Here is Michael's freeze. 

 

After all of their super hero training, they were ready to take on the villains (AKA the parents).  So they were getting ready with their squirt guns while the parents where throwing water balloon bombs down at them.

 

The parents up their surrounding their prisoner - the damsel in distress.  :-)

 

That is AJ on the left - getting in on it right away to save the damsel!

 

The kids working hard to get the villains!

AJ after the games - he had such a blast!!!

 

So after all the fun there were only a few people left and there was one dad that was having a great time with the kids - here they were cracking up over something that happened to him.  I am not sure what since I was taking the picture and looking the opposite direction.  Look at the joy on their faces!!!

 

But here was the dad that was getting back at them with a hose!  It was so much fun - the whole day was fantastic!!!  Everybody, kids and adults alike, had a fantastic day!!!

 

Then after the party our great friends from Belgium were checking out some old stomping grounds near us, so we met up with them for dinner.  Her dad was stationed here in Baumholder back in the late 70s.  He said not much had changed.

 

It was so much fun!!  The boys acted like a day hadn't gone by since they saw each other!!  Oh and the food was good too!

 

 

After that it was time to go back to our house and have a few drinks by the fire!  It was a great night, relaxing and fun to catch up and tell old stories!!
