Birthday Fun

With several birthdays in July, we had one big party.

Let's Make it Real! A spin off of Let's Make a Deal

Answer the question, pick box 1, 2, or 3

Medicine! Maybe next time. (Some prizes weren't exactly prizes!)

Candy!

Yoohoo

Uh Oh! A pile of rats!

Another contestant

On to the bonus round! After a few rounds of Apples to Apples

We showed the contestant what was behind curtain 1, they could take the prize or risk it and go with the mystery prize behind curtain 2.

J got her favorite drink

This contestant passed up these beans!

Cotton candy

Hmmm

Pringles!

The game helpers thought they could bluff J (12) with a huge pile of candy, but he went for curtain 2 and took his favorite drink-Dr. Pepper!

Science Party time

Molecules, "Moon Dust", "Mars Rocks"......

Surprise potions (food coloring and Sprite)

"Slime"

homemade bubbles

"Muck" or "Gunk"

volcano

lava lamp- this one was a flop

Lava, Pop Rocks added

Thank you, Grandma for coming to the party (and helping out)!

We also made clouds with shaving cream and food coloring and had a dinosaur excavation (not pictured).

In other birthday news, I (7) had a homemade ice cream cake with Pixy Stix and Sweet Tarts-

forgot to ice the middle!

All in all, we had enough sugar to last a year!
