Andrew is 5!

Andrew is 5 -- can you believe it? If he didn't act like it I wouldn't. :) Anyway, we had his "Rocket" party today and it was a "BLAST"!

Last night Karissa gave him a stomp rocket that he could shoot himself.

Doesn't he look like a boy having fun.

For his party we had the boys get their picture taken in front of white posterboard that I then photoshopped the board out of the picture and added a new background. We then printed these and glued them to some large rockets they colored when they arrived. They also colored a smaller rocket to use for "Pin the Rocket to the Moon".

Here is Andrew not quite getting to the moon.

Here is the "Blue Ninja" cake. The "Blue Ninja" is one of Andrew's favorite Rockets.

Here is the birthday boy himself

We saved the best activity for last. Shooting rockets off in the field next to us.

Here is Andrew shooting the "Pop-Fly" rocket. It has a ball on the top that "pops" off and then you can try to catch it.

And if you ever wonder why we like rockets, it is the look on the kids faces as they fire.

Nothing like the WOW! factor.

It was a lot of fun and now we are done with birthdays for another 6 months!
