Lucy celebrated her 7th birthday with an Olympic Birthday Party with 25 of her favorite friends. The girls came in to the tunes of the Olympiad, donned glittery makeup and hair gel like the US gymnasts and nibbled on red, white and blue fare (chocolate covered marshmallows dipped in colored sprinkles were the crowd fave!) Once everyone had arrived the games began.
Each girl first tried out their shot put with water balloons aimed at a target (bravely held in place by Ian who got his share of water balloons to the shoulder). Once each girl had a go at it a few times, we moved onto the gymnastics portion of the program where they each had to walk across our newly made balance beam and give us a spectacular dismount- this was the girls' favorite competition. Third, the girls broke into relay teams to do happy hopper races. Finally, we broke out Lucy's favorite tunes to allow the girls to perform dance and gymnastics moves with their new ribbon sticks.
Soccer, tether ball, swing added to the sportiness and all seemed to have a great time. Lucy gave out gold medals and red, white and blue candy (twizzlers, blue pixie stix and white candy stick) as favors and thanked everyone for coming.
Next year I'm aiming for a 3 girl sleepover!
