I can't believe our little guy is already 5! Where has the time gone? To celebrate this year we turned our house into a Super Hero Training Center! Many thanks to Isabella at Party Box for All for helping me put together the stations, and dress up center. The kids had a great time dressing up as their favorite super hero and building LEGO super heroes as they waited for everyone to arrive. Then we headed outside to get our heroes in tip-top-crime-fighting shape.
Our first station was Strength. We had many different shapes and sizes of weights available so our heroes could build up their muscles. Station 2 was Accuracy - it took a few tries, but by the end most of them could get those bean bags through the holes easily. At our third station our young heroes practiced their Agility by bouncing through the obstacle course while trying to throw balls at a target. They made it look easy, but trust me, there's no way I would have been as successful! At the last station, our heroes-in-training had to practice their Problem solving skills to complete the puzzle they were given. It took all of their combined efforts before all the pieces fell into place. After working up an appetite, it was time for lunch, and then of course, cake!
After receiving their Super Hero Graduation Certificates, signed by Spidey, who hung out with us for a while in the morning, the newly trained heroes took their web-blasters to the back yard to practice their web-slinging accuracy. They all had a blast - and even got to take home some extra web-blasters in their super-hero goodie bags so they could practice more at home.
Thanks to all the super-heroes (and their parents) for helping us celebrate Isaac's 5th birthday. He had a blast, and is already busy planning next year's party.
