So I can't believe that I have a 7 year old, but I do! Ever since Avery met Eli he's found a love for dinosaurs. So this year Avery wanted a dinosaur party. He said that it was the best party he ever had. I even got flowers for it!
We had it at the church because they have a really nice area with a pavilion and a grassy area, which is hard to find in Arizona. Brian got a jumping castle from his dealership.
I also bought some "dinosaur bones" and some plastic dinosaurs and buried them in the volleyball pit so they could have a Dino Dig. They really enjoyed that cause that gave them the chance to get down and dirty.
I also got a roll of craft paper and some paint and markers for Cave Painting. They liked this also. It gave them a break in the shade because it was in the cave (well underneath the pavilion)! Some of Avery's friends have younger siblings
and that kept them busy too!
The cake turned out really cute. It was an 8" cake with 12 cupcakes around it. And of course the presents were a hit. I also made paper mache dinosaur eggs and the goodie bag. Instead of using a bag to put the goodies in I put them inside the eggs. It was a little time consuming, but that was a big hit with the kids! Of course we had a pinata too and Avery broke it!
We all had a great time. Of course we wish our cousins could have been there. Avery has made some really good friends since we've been here. He growing up so fast and he is a good little kid!
