Pokemon Birthday Party

We had a Pokemon birthday party for P1. It was a lot of fun to plan, and it went a lot better than last year's birthday party!

Party favors:

Poke ball cupcakes:

This poster was fun to create! A project of love. I designed all of it and printed it at home. I did end up taking it in to get laminated. Since I had a free HP ink plan, it only cost $7 to get it laminated. P1 was really excited about this. Every kid got 3 Poke balls, and the plan was to blindfold them and let them try to catch a Pokemon!

The Poke ball cupcakes each had a Pokemon coming out them. Ignore the backwards 6, apparently I am dyslexic.

 Let the party begin! We started off by making Pikachu ears and watching a Pokemon episode while we waited for everyone to arrive.

Playing Catch a Pokemon! This turned out really well, and the kids loved it!

We also played Pokemon Bingo:

Everyone enjoyed their cupcakes:

We had 3 boys and 3 girls show up. Three were from kindergarten, 2 from primary, and 1 family friend. For presents, P1 received Pokemon pajamas, Pokemon legos, a Pokemon book, a Leonardo action figure, a Jurassic World truck and dinosaur, and a Transformer book/play set.

Everyone seemed to have fun, and P1 enjoyed every minute. It was a very successful party!

Pumpkin Patch Field Trip

P2's preschool had a field trip at the Cross E Ranch pumpkin patch. It was a fun day! It was a combined field trip with the 3 year old class and 4 year old class.

Playing with the water pumps:

 

We took a hay ride and saw lots of cows. P3 enjoyed burying himself in hay.

 

They had some giant slides that the kids loved! P2 was a little nervous, but the other girls held hands and they all went down together.

 

They had a hay maze: 

Jumping in the corn pit:

They also had a giant inflatable trampoline, and some giant balls to bounce on.

Park Adventure

The weather has been really nice and the kids wanted to sidewalk chalk. We decided to go to the park and invite our friends. P1 had fun drawing Pokemon.

Onix:

Squirtle:

P3 managed to find a mud/sink hole. I was seconds behind him, and caught his arm before he went all the way under. But he still got pretty muddy. This happened within the first 5 minutes, before our friends showed up. Poor kiddo!
