Doug dubbed these "bat-a-rangs" (like boomerangs) and were used in the obstacle course
Each child was armed with a marshmallow shooter
We had a pre-game team meeting to explain the game plan, what things were and what you were NOT to do with them (i.e. no throwing bat-a-rangs at people, we do not shoot marshallows at eyeballs; etc.)
I think they were taking things seriously...
Pre-obstacle course target practice
I think he was having a good time (laughing as someone walked into the wall while blindfolded for "Pin the "S" on the Superman")
This game was dropping "kryptonite" into the Planet Krypton (the foil covered pretzel barrel). It was kind of a flop, and they enjoyed pelting me with kryptonite instead...
More target practice
Obstacle Course Challenge 1:Find your ammo (mini-marshmallows in a snack bag) somewhere in the balloon-filled bouncy castle
Obstacle Course Challenge 2: Find your weapon (marshmallow shooter) in the maze
Obstacle Course Challenge 3: Speed away to save the day in one of the Batmobiles
O.C. Challenge 4: No pictures, but they had to use their shooters to knock down a foam block castle.O.C. Challenge 5: Using their Superhero lung capacity to get the ball up the ramp.
The final O.C. challenge was working together to get their bat-a-rangs off the top of the punching bag (using pure brute strength). The bat-a-rangs fell off the bag and into their hot little hands.
Check out the kid on the far right. I laughed hard when i saw that one!

Major kudos to Ashlee for putting ths fantastic party together!! It was really cool and the kids were raving about it.
You should have seen those kids charging through the obstacle course, they were serious.
That said, we were exhausted and will most likely never do it on that level again.
Bode got 3 transformers so I spent the evening trying to figure out how to transform them back and forth from vehicles to robots. I love being a dad.
Not just kudos to me! Doug was the mastermind behind the obstacle course. i had no idea how serious it would be until the night before. Good times.
OK, I'm never throwing another birthday party again. (except for the one on Saturday for Cailah and no, she's does NOT get to read this blog post :0) And I'm so sad I missed this one. You guys ROCK! I love Bode's obvious enjoyment! He looks so happy and Keegs cracks me up as always. They all look as though they had a blast. Kudos, you really should submit to Family Fun.
PS. Also noted the very fun Valentine's Banner that is also hanging from my mantel. Thanks! How do you have time for all this stuff?
love it! love the glee on bode's face after the person bashed into the wall...
and love the kid shoveling the cake in, because he knows this is one of the few times his mom lets him off of his leash!!!
so much fun! hooray for you and all yer partays!
Holy Cow! I think that I need a nap just reading about Bode's Birthday Party! I guess I should start planning Makayla's Birthday Party now... ideas anyone? :) Bethany
