Off In Space

In case you can't read the invite, it was Corbin's awesome 7th birthday party.  He wanted a space theme, on which he recently did a project at school.  So here's the skinny on what went down . . .

The best part of the party I really couldn't capture with pictures.  We completely covered our front room with black plastic and painted it with glow in the dark paint.  Add a black light and you have one COOL room. The kids loved it!

Decorating flying saucers.  Space stickers, markers, and a little glow paint made them look really sweet in the blackout room.

How far will it fly contest.  They actually flew pretty well~

Pin the planet.  Each kid had a different planet with their name on it and they had to try and match it to the correct one while blind folded.  It was a little tricky after a few kids had stuck their planet in random places...

Planet Pop!  For some reason my camera got on a weird setting and all my pictures of this were blurry, but it was absolutely hilarious!  The kids had to try and pop the planet with their bum only.  Once they did, they were surprised to find a glow-in-dark alien, which of course, they immediately took into the dark room to check it out.

PASS the planet.  It's a race ~ pass it over the head, then next person passes it under the legs.  Corbin said this was his favorite activity.

And of course, presents.

Thanks for all the presents! Corbin is lucky to have such great friends.

Cake Pop Planets.

We were so lucky to have Uncle Matt and Grandpa Dave come all the way from Denver for Corbin's birthday.  I'm sure they had fun at the party too.

 

The HAPPY birthday boy.  Love you, Corbin!
