Outdoor Birthday Party

June 19th, 2008

As I mentioned before, we celebrated my son’s 4th birthday a few days back. Since it’s June and the nights are warm and inviting we decided to set up the festivities outdoors. We created a makeshift outdoor movie theatre with multiple blankets, sheets, garden lights and a chalkboard naming the featured presentation!

Sidewalk chalk is always a great outdoor entertainer. Thanks Grandma! The kids had a blast playing duck, duck, goose on the grass and the evening wouldn’t have been complete without a Candy land cake! Yummo…

    It was recently my son’s 4th birthday too. I had a superhero party and bought each child a personalized superhero cape and ran around the yard all afternoon.

    You can also do a treaure hunt, potato sack race wich we did and loved.

    I think your decorations and party looked so cute and original. I loved it.

    I think at home parties are the best and the most personal.

    I invite you to join my website - it’s a birthday wishlist community and love original ideas that are creative, cost effective and fun!

    We love having water birthdays. One of my sons was born in August and it seems like we are always doing something with swimming pools, squirt guns, and water balloons. You don’t have to have a pool to have fun, either–just invite friends over in their bathing suits and let the kids run through a sprinkler.

    I’ve found with birthdays for kids that the simpler they are, the better they are.

    That looks sooo fun for the kids and they looked like they were really having fun! One of our boys birthday was close to Halloween, so we would had a spook alley in the basement for the kids. They loved it!
