Elijah Bean is turnning 4

Our little Elijah bean is about to turn four and we couldn't celebrate any other way then to have a SUPER HERO party. Eli is really into Super heroes so a few weeks before the party I got to work coming up with ideas. We were originally going to have it at our new house, but the HOA has taken to long to approve our yard so Jacob asked one of his business partners if we could use their backyard. (Let's just say they have the most awesome backyard ever!) The Young's being their awesome self's said sure, and we went to work finishing up the details. I made the invitations. They were not flashy, but for my work they looked good. Eli helped me cut and glue them together, and he also helped deliver them of course.

The food was Wonder Dogs, Hero Sandwiches, All sort of fruits (They had signs that described the superhero strengths you would get when eating them), we also had cheeto puff that we "power puffs" and Bugels which were "Cat woman's claws". I got some green punch and added dry ice to it which made "Joker Juice" (this actually turned out really good and everyone drank it super fast.

When the kids arrived it was so hot we let them swim first. After swimming we ate some food. Once everyone was done eating the kids were issued their super hero uniforms and were ready for super hero training camp. ( I made capes, masks and cuffs for all 18 kids) We had fun stations like test your strength and they punch throw tissue paper. Agility was tested by jumping over buildings (which Eli painted). The buildings ending up being a little too big for most kids so if they said Blueberry (which was the berry that gave you this power) then Jacob and I would help them rocket higher. Jacob dressed up like the Candy Caper and I told the kids he stole candy from a baby. They chased him down with their super speed and got the candy back. We also had the kids line up and run across the yard avoiding bombs (water balloons). They tested their bravery by sticking their hand in goop and saving the little dinos. (The goop was jello and red. It got all over my legs. Jacob and Spencer saw this as a great time to joke the my water has broke). The kids seemed to really love it and so did Eli.

We wrapped up the party by opening presents and then eating a superhero cake that melted because of the heat. The cake wasn't very good and it didn't end up looking very good once the heat got it, but the kids did not mind! After everyone left our family and the Christman's stayed and swam a little longer while we ere there a double rainbow showed up in the sky. I have never seen a double so it was extra special. Eli said Jesus was telling him happy birthday!

p.s These naked pictures at the end need some explaining. Jacob thinks if you go down the slide on your bare bum that you go fast. So Eli ran up and tried it. it zipped out so fast he hit his head. Jacob was right it does make you faster. Eli cried until he spotted and car which he and Liam got scratch by. For the next week Liam kept telling me about the mean cat that scratch him.
