Happy Birthday James, again!

Since James' birthday is so close to Christmas we decided this year to do his friend birthday party a month later. He originally wanted a Speed Racer party, but when we went to get invitations he saw some Indiana Jones ones and changed his mind. I did some research on party ideas and stumbled upon a blog with an awesome idea that I knew the boys would love.

Ben dressed up as Indiana Jones and enlisted the boys help in tracking down the treasure that his arch nemesis stole. We had gotten bags for the boys with their names on them and had clues set up at different stations.

They had to brave the snake pit.

And crocodile creek.

And feel their way through snake intestines, lizard eyes and monkey brains.

The chase ended at the treasure chest with goody bags for each one. They had cake, helped opened presents and then acted out every Indiana Jones scene they could think of. It was a blast, the kids had fun, I had fun, Ben wished they hadn't been so crazy active, but hey, it was a party!
