A Monster of a Party

Payton turned six in the first week of July.  We held his birthday party on the lake the weekend after. This year he decided he wanted to have a Monster Truck themed party.  Payton and his papa often play Monster Jam Urban Assault on his PlayStation2.  He knows each truck by name.

We had so much fun!

He had a monster truck cake:

Texas heat combined with Payton sticking his finger in the buttercream caused a slight crack in the cake.

     The wind blew so hard that day.

         

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We chose Crush drinks in Orange, Strawberry and Grape for party drinks , since Monster Trucks CRUSH cars.We also wrapped checkered flag Duck Tape around water bottles. 

This little boy loved licking the frosting off the wheels of the monster truck that once sat on his cake.

 All the kids munching on yummy

 Chocolate Cake with chocolate filling.

The Monster Truck tire floaties.

 

 Of course I had to try one out. :)

Everyone had fun in the lake trying to do their best tricks.

Payton's Uncle Cody was first to do a flip off of my dad's shoulders.

Then it was Aunt Jackie's turn.

Followed by Papa.

 

And after everyone else was done..

 momma tried it... this is my splash. :)

We all had a go on the slip and slide too!

We wanted Jake to be included in the party, so when it was over, we sent him one of Payton's balloons.

    The sunset on party day was beautiful. 

 It was a great way to  end a great day

 with close friends and family. <3
