Birthday Bash on 10.10

Hey guys! Here are some photos and details from a recent birthday party by EDLV. All photos were taken by Megan of Megan Sherwin Photography.

Her [brand new!] official website is http://www.meganmsherwinphotography.com.

She enjoys photographing just about anything including weddings, parties, senior pictures, couples, and kids. Check her out!

These 12 rambunctious ten year-olds were able to burn off a lot of energy in this ginormous 'jumpy.'

Party favors consisted of Silly Putty and a Puppy Chow-Lollipop-M & M goodie bag (How's that for sugared up?!)

Since it was pretty chilly on Saturday afternoon I planned a few SHORT indoor activities to keep the guests occupied. And I mean short! These were 10 year-old boys I was dealing with! :) After lunch the boys participated in a trivia game about the birthday boy. There were a lot of laughs with this one! The quiz pictured above provides a perfect example: one boy guessed that Zach's favorite movie was Tinkerbell. Hhmmm.... close! ;) The 2nd activity involved guessing how many pieces of candy were in each jar. Whoever had the closest guess won the candy which included Mike & Ikes, M & M's, Candy Corn and Sour Worms.
I also setup a caramel apple station where they could add whatever toppings their little hearts desired. (Oops! There's that sugar again...) FYI: If you are attempting to make home-made caramel as I did, leave yourself extra time for the caramel to chill and thicken after cooking. Another helpful tip: Place the pan of caramel in a big bowl of ice to speed up the thickening process. Let's just say that I certainly lived and learned with this one.
After all of these activites the boys went outside to play a very animated and energetic game of flag-football in the yard. Overall I think the kids had a blast, which is what makes any event a success. Happy 10th birthday Zach!
