Adam's Birthday Party

On May 28, we held Adam's fourth birthday party. Adam requested a "Transformers and Tanks" birthday theme (transformers, in his mind, are bad guys, not actual transformers). We massaged his expectations to an Army birthday party. He also wanted to invite the entire world, but we talked him down to about 25 kids. Everyone was issued a helmet, dog tags, and put on their war paint. Here they are taking their oath.








The sweaty birthday boy.










Then it was on to the obstacle course.













Drill Sargent Callicott leading the recruits on the balance beam.












We had a few games of Tug O War.























Then Drill Sargent Says...





Then the world's most restrained water fight (but the kids had a great time with the water balloons).




After some food, it was time for presents and cake. The commissary made a delicious cake with a tank that transformed into a robot. Adam was thrilled!










The last activity was the tank pinata.











Lots of yummy candy and little army men!

I wish we could have been there. Calum already talks about his birthday and how he wants to invite Adam and Jesse.
