Ethan's Superhero Birthday Bash

I'm so behind on posting...but I really wanted to share my superhero birthday party that I started planning since December.  Okay, I may have been a bit extreme in party planning, but Ethan only turns five once and I want his birthdays to be memorable!

Invitations



Our menu included turkey dogs, chips, and super foods!!!  You'll notice I used newspaper instead of table cloths.  I was trying to be 'green' and yet creative since Peter Parker and Clark Kent worked at publications.

Thanks to Uncle Julian our Chef

                                                                   




                                                                         

Superman & Superboy

Here are some superheroes in front of Gotham City after they did an intense scavenger hunt in the cold rain.  The scavenger hunt around the park included clues that led them to save the missing superhero action figures.  As party favors, the kids left with capes, masks and a superhero.  


Daily Bugle was used as Clue


The first clue was to find superman in the sky.  But he was missing and they found some capes instead.

The Bat Cave had Villan Vaporizer and Neon Kryptonite

The villans were vaporized



After finding their safety masks, the kids unveiled that Mr Freeze held the superhero action figures captive in his lair.  The kids had to chisel them out of the ice blocks.

Cat Woman and Super Man saying Thanks to our family & friends for coming out in the cold rain



After all this, I did forget to put up my home made banner that I made out of comic books, the superhero music I downloaded the night before, and the superman lollipops.  Oh well, it was a real treat to see Ethan.his friends and his cousins having fun!!!
