Spencer's 7th Birthday

This year Spencer decided on an Indian birthday party. That was a little trickier than a pirate party. Indian party supplies are a lot harder to find. Jason decided to make bows for the kids and let them shoot at animal targets. We got Spencer a real bow for his birthday present. Jason made the others out of PVC then we purchased separate arrows for them at the store.

It was a HUGE hit. They shot their bows and arrows for hours! We had to drag them away to eat the cake and ice cream.

Then there was the cake. What kind of cake do you make for an Indian birthday? My mom gave me the idea of a teepee. I had an awesome picture of a teepee cake in my head, but as usual, the picture in my head and the real thing didn't look anything alike. Oh well, Spencer liked it.

A small fight broke out between Ben and Spencer over the blowing out of the candles, but after Ben was able to blow out a second round, it was all good.

The kids returned to shooting until it was dark outside, then Spencer's friends took their new bow and arrows home with them. I think it turned out great. Happy Birthday Spence!
