Brendan's 4th Birthday Party: June 9, 2012

Our little man is 4!!!! Can you believe it?! This year he was really into Super Heroes, and we decided to make a super hero theme for his birthday party. I did a lot of online searching for ideas to come up with this one. We basically pretended that each of the kids were super heroes being tested to become a part of the Super Hero Academy. They started by making their own capes & picking out a mask.

Brendan makes his cape.


The finished product: the Bionic Birthday Boy, Brendan!



They then proceeded to prove how powerful they were at the "Mighty Muscles" station.





Next the super heroes had to prove they had the balance to walk across the "Lava Pit."





The next task was to show their bravery by crawling into the "Bat Cave" and retrieving the kryptonite (light sticks).





At the "Vaporize a Villian" station, the super heroes had to prove that they had what it takes to take down the scariest of villians. This was the favorite activity, by far, thanks to our villian Uncle Shane.





Next the super heroes-in-training were to use their "Magnificent Minds" to guess the amount of candy in some candy jars. The parents got to join in in this one, to guess the larger jar of candy's contents.




In the final test of our super heroes abilities, they had to "Leap Buildings in a Single Bound."






After completing all the training and tasks, each child was asked to choose a super hero name, and were given a graduation certificate from the Super Hero Academy. They all seemed to have so much fun, especially Brendan. As we were at the park, they were able to play on the playground. We enjoyed pizzas and a wonderful cake from Cousin Brandy. So much fun! And Brendan has not stopped talking about super heroes since.


The big 4-year-old makes a wish.
