Outer Space Birthday Party!

Jackson loves outer space and rockets so we decided to have an outer space party. Now I want you all to know that I had been sick for a full week and a half with the flu and felt miserable so the party decorations and games were NOT up to my standards... I actually cancelled the party once because I was too sick... So this was the best we could do!



We had Jackson and his 5 little cousins that live close by come to my parents house and we invited all his uncles and aunts and grandparents as well.

This is my mom and Jackson making space helmets-


His cousin Blake in his helmet and showing his rocket ship.


Savannah in her gear. We made the rockets by putting paint inside an empty 2 liter bottle and put about 4 marbles in it and closed the lid. The kids then shook them up to swirl paint around in them, they were really pretty and the kids loved making them.



Jackson and Justin


His cousins, Aysa, Brinlee, and Caden



Luke shaking his rocket up


Taking a spin in the "Anti Gravity Machine" we spun the kids around until dizzy then made them fly their rocket across the room. This was so stinkin Hilarious!!!





Then the big finale was when the kids went on an alien hunt with dart guns and found this scary alien lurking in the house... (Kevin) Luke who is 2, was so scared he was screaming and using his guns like his life depended on it... This was also stinkin hilarious...

He is kind of creepy......


Although we didn't get to do as much as I would have like to do it was still very fun.

I loved the chair idea. Kids think anything simple is fun. You did great. Hope you are feeling better now.

My kids talked about it for days!! They had a blast. Luke must not be too scared from the Alien experience because he still likes Kevin.
