An Unfroggetable Day

Ben celebrated his 8th birthday with a frog party at the park today. Several boys and a small sampling of girls joined in for an afternoon of jumping, lily pads, face painting and more frog fun. We had been eagerly awaiting this party at the park, and were glad we had a lot of room for the boys to run around.

We started with a frog toss and the kids tried to land their frog on the lily pads to earn points. Sarah, Charmaine & Claire helped out with games and decorated faces with painted frogs or tadpoles. Clint had the kids jump like frogs through an obstacle course which turned out to be a workout for their frog legs! We also altered "duck, duck, goose" to be "frog, frog, tadpole," and there was a lot of laughing during this game. The frog cake was a big hit - especially since it came complete with a raisin "fly."

We were thankful for the nice weather and for all the kids able to come celebrate with Ben.
