Saturday morning we had a birthday party for Raine at our neighborhood park with her friends from school and church. We don’t have many photos because I was too busy running all the different animal themed games we did, but here are the ones I managed to snap.

One of our games was the platypus egg rescue relay. The hand-off between Raine and Corrine didn’t go too well — good thing we were using plastic eggs!

The boys’ team won.

Some of the other creature powers we used were bat (pin the tail on the donkey), wolf (Lupo Delle Ore, a game Raine learned from the Friend magazine), and cheetah (tail grab tag).

We had pizza delivered for lunch…

… and then ate cupcakes.

Here they are watching Raine open presents. Their creature power suits turned out really cute, if I do say so, and the kids all loved them!
