SUPERHEROES!!! aka X's birthday party last weekend

A good view of the overall Superhero obstacle course set-up.  The kids started by going through the play structure down the slide, then through the cones and the ball tunnel, then through other cones and a ring toss, then through the next set of cones to the chalk "lava lake" where they had to jump from circle stone to circle stone without falling in the lake.  Finally, they ran to the Spiderman web "dart board" where they had to get all 3 velcro balls on the target.




Since Xander was Spiderman, Ari had to be Spiderboy too.

Finishing up lava lake jumping.




The final step!



Yay for friends!



Everybody was literally cheering each other on.




Watching the kids go through the course.




The certificate each kid got when they finished.  We signed each "Captain Fury" from the Avengers. 





Superheroes ranged from Captain America to Supergirl to Batman to Darth Vader to a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.




At play.  




Superhero posing.  Soon after this all the older kids disappeared to the side of the house to play with rocks and construction vehicles.




Cake!




The moment he blew out the candles.




Waiting for their slice.




Eating outdoors. 





A few kids went to our dining room to decorate capes.  The rest took out every toy we owned to play.  




Fun fun chaos.  In the end we had 7 five year-olds and 3 two year-olds... it was a good party!

    1. Thanks, MamaNightsong! But boy, I have to say, I do see the appeal of those Chuck E Cheese parties where you don't do anything but show up... I was exhausted by the end of it, and Jonathan did all the work!
