On Friday - his actual birthday - we played at the playground with our neighbors. Then, we went to McDonald's for his birthday dinner with my parents. Benjamin and Luna spent most of the time playing in the play place, and coming back to take bites of their food. After that we went on a walk on the river trail near my parents' house, and Benjamin got to throw rocks in the river! Benjamin and Luna spent the night at my parents' house because Gerson and I had to help clean the church building early Saturday morning.
Saturday was Benjamin's birthday party with his friends - his first friend birthday party! The theme was Disney's Cars. We played one big long game called: Tour of Radiator Springs. This sign greeted the kids at the door.
Each kid got a "VIP Pit Pass" as they arrived. (I found the free printable here.)
Then everyone got to pick a toy car to drive to Radiator Springs. We walked around the perimeter of the front yard as our our route to Radiator Springs.
When we arrived in Radiator Springs I told the kids that when they travel they get gifts called souvenirs, and they would get some souvenirs while visiting Radiator Springs and could put them in a gift bag (which I gave them). We first visited Luigi and his tire shop. Luigi gave them tires for their cars (chocolate donuts) when they could answer the question: How many tires does a car need?
Next we visit Flo's Diner. Flo gave them some gas for their car (apple juice) when they could answer the question: What does a car need to go? (Benjamin answered that one, "A gas station!")
After that we played with Mater, and as a thank you, he let the kids have some teeth!
Then we spent the night in Sally's Motel (candy corn). Then we raced with Lightning McQueen! (The kids let their cars down the slide and slid down after their car.)
After our tour was over it was time to sing Happy Birthday, open presents, and eat cake! Then all the kids played with Benjamin's new toys in the backyard.
It was a great weekend, and Benjamin loved it! I can't believe he's growing up so fast!
