Scavenger Hunt & Snow Cones

 We celebrated Braden's 7th birthday on Sunday, May 22. Instead of kiddie pools we had a back yard party with a neighborhood scavenger hunt and snow cones. As guest arrived, Braden sat with them on this bench and opened their gift.

 We had two teams, blue and red. Keeping with the "Sheriff Woody" theme, each team had a bandanna and gold star.

 Clues were at houses around the neighborhood. Before they could get the clue, the each had a task to perform; recite abc's in a funny voice, bounce on one leg and name all the months, say the pledge of allegiance, etc.

 The birthday cake and cookies. We've learned the hard way that the kids love to lick the icing off the cupcakes but seldom eat the whole thing. So we ordered cookies to pass out to the kids.

 Braden wanted to blow the candles before his dad could get them all lit!
