Carson wanted an "army" themed birthday party. This is harder than it sounds like! I couldn't find many "army" themed things for parties--just little green army men and things like that. But we did end up making a "camo" cake that tasted better than it looked and a chocolate cake for the extra. The kids had water grenades to bomb each other with, a slip n slide (doesn't that just scream combat to you?), a huge inflatable water slide, plus army hats and camo face paint. They also had leis, because Carson wanted them, so Darcy and I decided that this particular Army must have been hanging out in Pearl Harbor or something. Whatever. Despite the rain that kept all 14 kids (plus parents and even some grandparents!) indoors for half of the party, they seemed to have a blast. And when the storm passed, had just enough time to get some outdoor fun in before it started up again. Who knew that kids could launch almost 200 water balloons in less than 2 minutes?? It took Reed, Darcy and Chris over an hour to fill them up! Note for future parties: start filling balloons way earlier!
All in all, a good day for Carson, which means a success! Thanks to everyone who came and helped us party!
