Tommy's birthday party was exactly 3 months late this year, so we had fun celebrating his 8 1/4 birthday. He wanted an endangered species themed party. I came up with appropriate names for all the snacks...
And mom did the decorating.
They played some games, one where they had to hold hands and snake through the hula hoop faster than the other team...
And another called "Elephant Stomp" where they each had a balloon tied to their leg, and tried to stomp on each other's balloons to pop them. Last one with an unpopped balloon won! Tommy came in 2nd.
There was A LOT of gooning around and playing on the swing set.
At one point they had 6 kids on the tire swing!
That's Cole hunkered down there in the middle of it.
My friend Sarah and I steered clear of the chaos and played arctic animal bingo with Dad.
Then it was time for the treasure hunt. We had to decode clues to collect animal crackers, animal stickers, and finally a figurine of our favorite animal with a little sign on it that said "adopt me!" Mom even found a pangolin figurine for Tommy.
Tommy, Evelyn, and Cole were very secretive about their decoding and hid out behind the garbage cans.
Tommy wanted donuts instead of a cake, and no one objected.
