Birthday Blast!

Well Eastons birthday is on June 25 and falls on the Fish Lake Kesler Family reunion every year and Treys birthday is July 23 and we are always gone to Kanosh for the 24th of July festivities. So we decided to have a big party in between them both. Treys party was to start at 10:00 and go until 1:00. Eastons was going to start at 12:00 and go until 3:00. We had a big BBQ lunch for them all while both groups of kids were here.  But the kids from Treys party were having so much fun they did not want to leave.  So they ended up calling their parents and stayed for Eastons water party also.

~Kick-Off Party~
Trey wanted a football themed party so here was his invitations.  I made them to look like a ticket for a game.

I gave each kid a paper with about 15 different Football Team emblems on them and they had to name as many as they could.  We played this game while waiting for everyone to come.  If they could name both the city and the name (Chicago - Bears) they would get 2 points if they could only name one they would only get 1 point.  I tallied up the total and the winner got a prize.  Then we played a game where you had to throw a football through a tire.  Each kid got 5 throws at a closer range & 5 throws at a father range.  He would get a point for each throw he made in the tire. The winner got a prize.

Then we played a game of "Name that Player".  I had some pictures of professional football players and their names.  They were timed and had to match the name with the player. Winner got a prize.
 

Then we played a game of "Sock Head" (which was a big hit). And of course no Football party would be complete without a game of flag football.

For the goodie-bag I had a candy bar with custom wrapper (Parowan colors) designed with footballs and said Go Parowan Rams.  On the bottom is said "Thanks for Coming" ~ Trey.   They also got a Steelers cup (Treys favorite team), referee whistle, candy, and a picture of them from the party.

~H2O Party~
For Eastons party we did a water theme and they played on the slip-n-slide, the bounce H2Oslide, & played H2O balloon volleyball.  They had a good time and everything was great until it started to rain and get a little cold.  Everyone came running inside and I was not prepared for them to have to come in.  Easton opened his presents and I quickly came up with a few indoor games.  We played "Minute to win it"  and "Pop the Balloon".  By then the weather had cleared up and we headed back out for more water fun.

The boys had a blast. I think the last kid ended up leaving around 5:00pm. It was a long day, but well worth it. The boys had fun together and think next year they are just going to have one big party. Which is fine with me.
