Alan's 6th Birthday: May the force be with you

Here are some fun pics from Alan's big 6th birthday party this year!

Opening presents that morning...

Alan wanted a Star Wars party. We invited his school class and some friends from church, so there was quite a bit of prep work!

pool noodles and duct tape can work miracles

Alan worked hard for many days to make this Darth Vader pinata!

It took about 1 minute after kids started arriving for this to happen

Scott was our Jedi Master and he led the padawans in some meditation

Exercise

And light saber technique

We had an obstacle course where you had to try to blow up the death star (with a nerf gun)

Prepping for our intergalactic water balloon battle

Said battle

Pinata

And finally pizza!

And cake!

 It was a SUPER fun day. And a lot of work. It's making me tired to just look at these pictures. :) But it was worth it.
