On August 30th 2011 John Paul turned 11. Being the classic boy he is, he decided to go with a food theme.
Opening gifts:
Cake time:
 |
| Playing up on the hill in the volley ball courts. |
 |
| The pavilion. There is a little playground you can't see in this picture just right of the pavilion. |
John Paul also wanted to do a couple crazy food games. So we had four different games.
1) An Egg-toss
-You and your partner toss the egg back and forth trying not to break it, after each toss you take a step back. Lauren and Mom won.
 |
| Poor Tyler! The egg broke all over him! |
2) Marshmallow Wars
-Two teams. Four bowls full of cornstarch coated marshmallows. Black construction paper pinned to all the participants' shirts. Goal: Get the other team members out by hitting their black paper with a marshmallow. The cornstarch makes it nice and messy :)
3) Cheese Puff Toss
-Kids sit down in a line. Dad sprays whipped cream on their heads. Everyone else walks down the line throwing cheese puffs at the kids trying to get them to stay in the whipped cream.
 |
| The cheese puff victims. |
4) Pudding Eating Contest
- Who can eat the bowl full of pudding (with their hands behind their back) first? (I believe Tyler won)
Happy Birthday John Paul! You are growing up so fast. :D
It was a great party, lots of fun. It was the perfect way to end our summer!
