Spencer's 5th birthday party.

Here is Mataya demonstrating a game we played at the party called "Hook the Treasure". The kids had to use the hook to pick up the necklaces and see who could pick up the most in 30 seconds.
Spencer got some super cool gifts. I'm not sure he is looking at his new toy, but it looks like it:)
Cute cousin Marley.
The wee little pirates.
On the hunt for treasure with Spencer leading the pack. I took pictures of things for the clues so it would be easier. We had them running all over outside and they we all breathing heavy by the time they got to the treasure.The treasure was in our outside storage bin we use for toys. It was full of goodie bags and pirate swords.
The boys running around with their treasure.

We played a game where I put uncooked rice and pennies in a big bowl and the kids had to wear a blindfold and had one minute to get as much money out as they could. This game was a time filler and I thought they would think it was lame, but I think they really loved it.

Little Mataya. She napped for most of the party, but she was out there at first running around with the kids.
We played "Pop the Cannonball". I told Parker to go easy on the little kids.....well you can see how well that pep talk went....lol!The goodie bags and treasure bottle. I got small soda bottles and had the kids put rice and small treasures in them.

It was a fun party and fun day.
