and then we had a Dinosaur party on Friday. Samuel wanted an alien party, but we found some neat dinosaur hats, and little toy dinosaurs to decorate the cake with, so we'll have to save aliens for another day. Here's a picture of our cake. It was a lot of fun to make. Everyone wanted a piece of the volcano. It was made of Reece's peanut butter cups and those chocolate krispies, with orange frosting as the lava:
The kids got to keep the dinosaur that was in their piece of cake.
kids and dinosaur hatsSamuel invited four friends over to play games and have cake and ice cream. Two were boys and two were girls. They were all from his church class, which made it fun because I knew all the kids. We played pin the leg on the dinosaur
"a keen eye and a steady hand" (which is a game that Aaron and Samuel made out of electrical circuits.) The goal is to take the metal hoop (the red wire with copper hoop) from one end of the arch up(metal hanger) and around to the other, without the hoop touching the arch. If it touches, then a buzzer goes off. We counted how many times the buzzer went off. Ellen actually had the least number of buzzes. It only buzzed one time. However, the bigger kids didn't think that it counted because it was one continual buzz from one end to the other!
They also played dinosaur egg toss (we used little balls as our dinosaur eggs), volleyball with a balloon, and at the end Aaron got down on the floor and played alligator! Boy did that get rowdy. Aaron finally had to stop because he lost his voice. I think the kids all had a fun time. The two boys got to spend the night too! I didn't get any pictures of the kids doing the games. I totally forgot until after they were all done. Sorry!
