Even though Benjamin turned 3 almost a full month ago, we didn't have his party until last weekend. I wanted to do a circus theme full of games and it was important to me that all the kids in the family were available to join in on the fun. These are the types of memories I want Benjamin to have - playing around with his gang of cousins! As always, I intend to take way more pictures than I actually do. I didn't get a great picture of the signs I made, the banner or the food spread :( We had the typical circus type food - hot dogs, nachos, cotton candy, cracker jacks and popcorn. And to end the night we had giant cupcakes and an ice cream buffet.
We had a pretty good variety of games
- Sack Race
- Peanut Pick Up - I stole this idea from Field Day back in grade school! They had 3min. to pick up as many peanuts as possible with just a spoon.
- Duck Pond
- Pinata
- Can Toss
I was so excited to try out the face painting kit but only a few were brave enough to let me experiment on their face. Thanks Dylan P, Zoe, Maddie and Owen :) Every time I asked Benjamin to sit down so I could paint his face he argued with me about wanting to paint my face instead so I finally gave up trying.
I'm definitely bummed I didn't get more pictures, but here are a few of my favorite action shots of the day...
