Under the Sea - James Turned Six in 2010

Time flies... I can't believe James is almost seven. Guess I better share last year's birthday.  After much deliberation we settled the theme of

 Under the Sea

We started with lunch -- Octopus and squid hot dogs with cheesy shells.  After lunch kids could make an octopus mobile. Then we had an undersea shipwreck treasure hunt complete with a treasure map. The kids put on ocean creature swim goggles and went "diving" under the sea; down into the basement where we played various games to get the next clue until the treasure was found.  The activities were animal charades, octopus tag, crab races and ocean animal trivia. At the end they found the treasure chest full of party goodies, including small stuffed sea animals.


We had a full under the sea decorations. We had beach blankets to eat lunch, we had blue and green crepe paper, large paper sea animals, a crepe paper jelly fish along with a fishing net. And then the cake -- an amazing under the sea cake complete with fish and rocks. 

 As always Papa was with us to celebrate James Birthday.

We were thrilled to have special guests -- Nana & Grandad -- to celebrate James 6th Birthday.
