Bennetts Big Day

We finally got around to posting about Bennetts Birthday party. We had a lot of fun and the theme was boats. Marybeth did a great job on these cakes. I thought that they turned out really well. And better yet they were very tasty, see Bennetts reaction below.

We tried to put together some Rain Gutter Regatta, we were hoping it would make a big splash but that set sail the moment we brought out the water guns. For any of you out there that tried this in scouts this may be a bit different. We wanted to use water guns instead of blowing through straws. For some reason it seemed more fun to shoot each other with water than to try and move the boat from one end to the other.

Here is a little video of part of the big day. Bennett did pretty good. I think the pressure got the best of him in opening all the presents. He wanted to take his time, but he had so many helpers wanting to just rip the presents open. Then he wanted to play with the presents he got right away. Marybeth and I ended up opening the majority of his presents while he sat and watched. All in all it was a great day. Best of all was Bennett getting to have cake and ice cream for the first time, well at least cake anyway.
