Zac's Birthday Party

Saturday was Zac's big party. This one was definitely more low-key than Seth's--thankfully! I let Zac do much of the planning. He had chosen a basketball theme, so we made basketball cupcakes and drew basketball markings on orange balloons with a Sharpie. I got his Breyer's French Vanilla ice cream, of course.



He had 4 friends over, 2 from school and 2 from church. Zac and Seth had gotten out balls, bats and frisbees and thrown them in the backyard, so the guys played "sports" while everyone was arriving. Then we played "Dribble, Dribble, Shoot" (Duck, Duck, Goose) until everyone got sick of it, and had a quick pick-up basketball game with our kiddie goal. After cake, ice cream and presents, the boys had a treasure hunt. I had hidden clues in riddle form around our yard and down around the pool and back and the kids had to figure everything out to find their goody bags. This worked out really well and the guys had a blast. I went with them of course, because Saturday was opening day at the pool and it was crazy down there. We got back just in time for ice water and pick-up time.
