Happy {late} Birthday Harrison!



So our Harrison is now {9} ! ! !
I, for one can hardly believe it! He had a really fun "Indiana Jones" theme birthday party. Harrison planned it for weeks. He had sketches of obstacle courses he wanted to create and with some reality and help from Dad, the big obstacle they pulled off was a sliding wall constructed of cardboard and duct tape. It was manually closed by Dad, but it was a lot of fun for the kids to try and slide under it without getting scathed. At the very end of the party they had to pick up their gift bag and replace it (like the idol Indy had to switch) and slide under the wall before it closed down on them. We found some printable invitations online. There was a "whipping" contest to see who could whip down the most plastic cups with Harrison's home-made whip. They had a treasure hunt to find little Lego Indiana Jones guys hiding around the living room - and these became the decorations for his home-made cake.

It was a lot of fun and I think since he was in on all the planning and decisions, he'll remember it for a long time! Happy birthday my little adventure man!
