So last Saturday my little, big 9 year old had a joint party with his best friend, Trevor. We had a BLAST!
This cake, was the beginning of fun. You see it looked like a cake, it even smelled like a cake. We lit the candles, sang happy birthday, and when we cut into the cake..........................
The theme of the party was a Spy Training Camp. When the boys arrived, they were identified, presented with a kit of supplies, a uniform and an "agent-in-training" button which was used to enter and exit rooms throught the camp.
Once all the boys had arrived, we ate pizza and then got on with the fun
This cake, was the beginning of fun. You see it looked like a cake, it even smelled like a cake. We lit the candles, sang happy birthday, and when we cut into the cake..........................
IT WAS STYRAFOAM!!!!
You see, someone had stolen the cake!! But inside the cake was a letter requesting the agents-in -training call British Spy Headquarters in London. After talking with our spy contact the boys received a coded message and part of a code translation and then they were left to find the missing dessert.
The coded notes took awhile to decode, but the agents-in-training caught on enjoyed running out in the rain in search of the next clue. At one point the boys were instructed to take 25 paces West and look up.....
This one took a long time as the clue was hidden under Mr. Baines hat! :-) Yes, we parents actually took great delight in watching the boys trying to figure this one out. It is true.
The girls at the party actually knew where the clue was and Rhia enjoyed "being in the know" but pretending to be a spy anyway.
After running around in the rain and solving more clues the boys were finally directed to the missile training room i.e. the pinata painted to look like a bomb. When the candy finally fell so did the last clue directing the agents to call headquarters to receive their final clue. At last the boys looked in the big box which gets very hot in the kitchen and they found the REAL DESSERT. They were then congratulated, presented with new buttons and allowed to eat the dessert.
Before all the boys had even left, Commander Martin and Commander Baines collapsed on the couch. It is a touch job getting agents in training to follow directions!!
Once all our friends had left Commander and Lt. Commander Martin and Baines and their new official Spy Agents posed for a picture.
What a fun day. I hope the boys all had fun. I know I did. It is quite possible that the adults had more fun than the kids.....
Blessed to be momofkrit and woj,
Lt. Commander Martin
Spy Trainer
