Kirk turned 5. He has been really into the Indiana Jones since we went to Disneyland. Of course after he begged us we rented the movies. Man I didn't remember them being so scary, or graphic, but Kirk loved them. This year I threw him an Indiana Jones party. This was a simple party because I used all of our old Halloween decorations. The boys each got a whip, and a Indiana Jones hat. We played alot of games like whip the bat, make fossils out of play dough, and throw the Velcro balls at the felt targets. We also ate pizza, and spooky punch. Of course after I snapped four pictures of Kirk's birthday party my camera's battery went dead. But I got a cute shot of him with his cup cake.
At the end of the party we had a surprise visitor. Indiana Jones himself dropped in to wish Kirk a happy birthday. I regret not getting photo's of that, but o-well what can you do. He had a really fun birthday, and he us already talking about what type of birthday party he wants for next year. I'm thinking maybe only doing these parties every other year now! This party idea is a good one for little boys because it really is versatile. I read online that one Mom hired out a reptile zoo bring some snakes, and spiders for the kids to hold. I thought Kirk would have loved that, but it was a bit pricier than the character visit. I was really impressed with the Princess Parties. They also did Kate's mermaid party last year. He was really animated, and held the boys complete attention as he told them his story. It was a really fun party, but just about did me in. I ran 18 miles the day before. I was wiped out by Sunday. I hope I can maintain these with all of our kids. I may have to resort to chuckee cheese with Benjamin. Well we will see.
