Batman Birthday Boy

Ryan wanted a Batman party this year for his birthday. So batman it was! He already had the batman costume, so it was pretty easy to throw together. I made capes for the boys and had them running around doing obstacle courses and relay races, (for fun, but also because it was pretty chilly that day!)

Here are the pictures and some videos of the party for you to enjoy




Which one of these is not like the other??




Ryan starts off the super hero obstacle course

Eli's turn , Watch his fancy foot work!


Renee is light on her feet!


Run Kaylee run!! She is lightening fast!

Ready, Set, GO!!!!

Bat-Girl Renee


Then we played a fun seeking game. I had hid these batman signs in the sand with just a little bit sticking out and they had to use their super hero vision to find them. They loved it


Then with all the Batman powers they had, they needed to protect Gotham City (or the Park) from the villains lurking out in the perimeter. So they went off and captured a villain and destroyed him. They loved that one too. We played it several times!



Yes I was their side kick "Robyn"
My mom had made that costume for me when I was in high school or college, i think because David was a batman on year too.

Time to rest, and recharge with some snacks.

It was REALLY windy that day, so lighting the candles didn't happen, but it didn't stop the singing or any fun


They didn't even notice I'm sure!



The birthday song...HI-YA!!!


Ryan loved every present his friends and grandma brought for him. I love this expression we captured!

And while we were all paying attention to Ryan opening his gifts....the girls took the liberty of licking off the frosting of the remaining cupcakes!! At least they were helping each other and not fighting over them I guess!


Happy birthday Batman Ryan! May all your dreams come true this year. I love you
Mom
P.S.
What a fun party!!

Karen, I envy you. You have such a knack for making your kids birthday parties exciting and fun. And the Robyn costume, what a good idea. I never had a good imagination like that. You go girl. It is so wonderful to see Ryan's happy face in these pics. And the girls, too, especially when they are eating all the frosting! Love you all.

Way to go Super Mom! I was not a creative mom.....Jeremy had birthday parties at Chuckie Cheese's. Looks like the kids had a blast. I love Ryan's expressions.
