The boy’s SHEAR SHACTOR party was a great success!!! Tanner was so happy and he woke up this morning still talking about how much fun he had. He kept saying “Mommy – that was a FUN party!” Ty played so long and hard that he crashed yesterday evening.<\/p>\n
Here is a little recap:<\/p>\n
The party started with lunch. On the menu was bug pizza, eyeball punch, strawberry spiders, and spider legs dipped in mud (pretzel sticks in chocolate). After lunch, Jenna, Tanner, Noah and Zandi went on a bug hunt. They had 5 minutes to catch as many bugs as they could. The three younger ones chose partners to help (I was afraid they would pick up something that would bite them). Noah chose Rob, Tanner chose Uncle Darin, and Zandi chose Uncle Dusty. The team that won? Hands down Dusty and Zandi!!! Zandi is NO DOUBT her father’s child so no one was suprised.<\/p>\n
After the bug hunt, we had an oreo dig. First up was Jim, Darin, Dustin, Rob, Aviel and Dusty. I made spagetti noodles and dyed them to look like earthworms and then hid four oreos inside. The first to dig out the oreos with only their mouth was the winner. Noah betted on Rob and won:). When I tried to get the kids to play this game, Noah and Zandi bailed on me but Tanner and Jenna played like pros! <\/p>\n
Then came the coin dig! I put REAL earth worms and meal worms in a tin roaster and hid coins in the dirt. Each kid had 20 seconds to dig out as many coins as they could. This was the game that solidified “Girls Rule Boys Drool”!!! Jenna and Zandi participated but Noah and Tanner would have NOTHING to do with that! LOL. Jenna surprised us all by….(never mind…you’ll have to watch the video if you want to know:).<\/p>\n
After the coin dig, the kids broke a pinata. Noah is mighty handy with a bat. Tanner did pretty well too but half the time it looked like the pinata was beating on Tanner. Ty loved that game! LOL!<\/p>\n
We opened presents next and the boys got WAY more toys than they needed and I am wondering what in the heck I am going to do with everything….sigh….<\/p>\n
When presents were opened, we went on our final adventure. Tanner wanted me to buy piranahs for the pool. Tanner, Jenna, Noah, Zandi and Ty all swam with the piranahs (goldfish) and caught them with strainers. It took a while to convice Noah and Tanner that we were pretending about the piranahs but they eventually got tired of watching all the fun Zandi, Ty, and Jenna were having so they joined in.<\/p>\n
The slip and slide turned out to be perfect for the babies! Ty, Graham, Zane, and Beau loved it!<\/p>\n
The only disappointment was that Ty would not eat his cake…figures:)!<\/p>\n
There are pictures in the July album AND a recap video of the whole party on the videos page that is tooooo fun!
