Tactical Operations

Crew turns 4 at the end of the month and had been begging for a big celebration. The little boy got his big wish. We threw him his first birthday party this weekend. Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate. Because of the rain we had to move the party from the park to our place. We were crammed but made it work.
My mom surprised us and came into town the day before. Eliza and Jason also came down to help us celebrate. We were thankful for the extra hands otherwise Devin and I would have been greatly outnumbered.





Crew picked the Army theme



I wish you could see these better, they're gummy soldiers. So cute!

Everyone got personalized dog tags when they arrived then we did a roll call with salutes.
Tug of War. At one point Devin tried to take on all the kids. He lost.


Then we used grenade water balloons to bomb Devin.
He was the perfect target. The kids loved it.

Injured soldier. The kids had to find the injured soldier, bring him to safety and fix his wounds.
They also played pin the tank on the battle field. (No pictures)

And of course a pinata. I think every party needs one of these. They are always a huge hit.
