I'm FIVE!!!

I don't know if you heard, but Connor was pretty excited to be 5! For months now, we have been hearing all about what he thinks he can do when he turns five: ride without training wheels, go the the barber with dad, pretty much anything that couldn't be done at four, obviously. At Connor's request we threw him a WILD safari party. Complete with lots of wild animals, wild games, and wild behavior:)

 

 Our scary, and VERY wild lion...

 The Birthday boy with some preschool friends: Cailey & her sister Lexi, & Preston

Cousins!

 The only thing Connor wanted to do at his party, was "play games...you know like the ones we play at my school parties..." but before all that fun started the kids played in the fort,

 built some legos...

Getting wild for some games? Connor, Kaia, Ashlyn, Cailey, Lexi, & Jake

Sophia & Lauren (cousins!!!)

 Let the games begin. First, there was lots and LOTS of safari hunting in the back yard for safari animals...

 Then a water-balloon toss

 And a "pin the tail on the Elephant" - the main game Connor requested. It is amazing that not one single online website sells such a thing, so that was homemade by yours truly. Apparently no pics of said masterpiece could be found. However, the winner: Ashlyn (age 2)...apparently there are a few things that can be accomplished before age five.

Happy Happy Birthday to our wonderful FIVE year old! After the party Connor told us that he "wants to have the exact same party every year!" I guess that means he liked it:) Cheers!
