Tangled

Last weekend we hosted a Tangled theme birthday party

in honor of

Sierra's seventh

and Ally's fifth birthdays!

(The cake looked much better in my mind than it actually turned out in reality. Oh well! It tasted good with purple ice-cream.)

The ladies wore beautiful purple gowns.

(Mom found hers at Goodwill!)

We had lots of fun presents to open.

(The paint sets were party favors for our guests.)

And we ate lots of yummy treats!

After lunch, we started with a Pascal Hunt.

Annie found the extra-special card with a picture of the enchanted flower.

Then it was time for a golden yarn braiding race. Even the adults got in on this game!

Chuck and Dad's braids were quite impressive - for boys, that is!

Next, it was time for a pine-cone toss. Check out the amazing job that Marc did on Rapunzel's tower. He drew it free-hand and then I painted it. We were quite pleased with ourselves and couldn't stand to throw it away, so it's going to be used a few more times during the summer.

Valerie didn't score any points, but she looked good trying. Nice form!

The last game was "Pin the Nose on Flynn."

"They just can't get my nose right!"

After games it was time for cake and presents...

...followed by the world's greatest water fight.

(The river is still too high for swimming so we had to improvise. The kids had sooooo much fun!)

Chuck and Valerie set up a great ambush!

Cold watermelon was the perfect snack in the heat of the afternoon.
