Payton's Party



(I don't know why all my pictures are getting squished if anyone has any ideas let me know. Or tell me if they seem the right shape and maybe it is my computer screen. I hope it isn't the pictures!)


I have to give the credit for this party to Jenny and Jill. This morning it started as just a simple cake and ice cream and free play party and within a few good minutes of brainstorming it turned into this!

The party started with lunch. Then we had the army men parachute construction. Then the test drop to see which one would drop the slowest.










Sadly the game that was the most fun is the one I took the least pictures of. We had the "Woody's Wild West Shooting Gallery." We had targets made and placed all around the house upstairs and each child had a Nerf gun and had to run room to room trying to get the target and make it in the time limit. What a wild and fun game.

The scavenger hunt was also a hit!


They found some of our party stuff for the next thing. Here is a sample of the Ice Cream Sunday line with Jill's labeling.






Then of course it was Cake and Ice Cream Sundaes. Birthday songs and presents. We ended with the Toy Story 3 movie but only the little kids even watched it. Payton and his pals were having way too much fun.










Payton and Avery got bikes for their farm life adventures!

Disney Day 5

Well this post is out of order but we ended our Day 5 in the Magic Kingdom again.

We started in Animal Kingdom




I was glad Ben finally carried me. I was getting tired.

(Proof I was there that day.)


Nemo was a spectacular show. I loved it!





























The Bone yard was one of my favorite stops and breaks. It was a giant playground that looked like a dinosaur dig site.







Ben loved to stomp on these dino footprints and with every stomp a growl came out of a crack in the wall.


Here he is trying to hear it better.















Can he take on the mountain? Our kids would not go near it so we voted Justin could represent our family. GO DAD!


Justin conquered his mountain.

















I was going to take Ben on the second trip down but decided I wasn't dressed for water. I am kind of glad I didn't try my luck at not getting soaked.







Like Father like son, Handsome smiles! Mischievous but handsome.

Our Safari!
