Ridge was all about the superhero party so we went with it. Russ made the invitations with Ridge starring as Captain America. Ridge is a funny little guy and all about the details. He wanted to draw a spider on every can of "web shooters" for the ninja fight (pictures below). Everyone came dressed as a superhero. We had superhero cupcakes, a superhero puzzle for everyone to take home (Ridge also loves puzzles), and all kinds of games. We played karate chop a brick. Everybody got a chance to HI-YA a "brick," which was a styrofoam food tray. They had to make their way through the laser maze (red ribbon strung across the stairs) to get upstairs to diffuse a bomb (pop a black balloon). Then they had to break open the "save a superhero" pinata. I couldn't figure out how to make one of the cheap pinatas at Winco fit into the party theme. I ended up tying superhero figures to the string above the pinata and told the kids they had to save the superheros by breaking open the pinata. We played hulk smash. Everybody got to put on hulk gloves and smash an ice cream cone. We had cupcakes and then everybody went outside with a can of web shooters. Pretty soon some evil ninjas (Russ and Kyleigh) showed up and the little superheros attacked them with their web shooters. It was a really fun party, if I do say so myself. Many thanks to Rusty and Pinterest!
