When I asked Mitchell what kind of birthday party he wanted, right off the bat he said a soccer party. So we scheduled the church gym and sent out invitations to 12 neighborhood friends. On the afternoon of the party 11 of the 12 friends arrived to celebrate. It started out with treat bag decorating and soccer ball dot to dot.
Then the games began. Here are some shots from the balloon heading game.
Next up, balloon pop relay. The kids had a blast with this one. It was lots of fun to watch how they all managed to pop their balloons there was some belly flopping, stomping and good old fashioned use your teeth. We played twice and each team had a chance to win. Perfect!
Crab soccer was a favorite, though their arms got tired pretty fast.
Some of the other games not pictured were; soccer ball bowling, yellow card tag, and a scrimmage was held as well. The kids worked up quite an appetite and enjoyed some pizza and juice.
After pizza came the presents......the kids were all excited for Mitchell to open their gift.
Grand finale was soccer ball cupcakes and ice cream cups.
I am not sure if we sent the kids home really tired or really hyper. It was a crazy party and I couldn't have done it without this guy.....
Matt has been coaching youth soccer for the past 8 years....he could coach a soccer party in his sleep :).
