We celebrated Cole's 6th birthday with a Spy party. I decorated the dining room with caution tape, Investigation in progress tape, streamers and a table cloth with fingerprints and question marks.
Each kid had a file folder with their paperwork (word search, code training and memory game pages) and a pencil.
The middle of the table had a tray with various spy gear. We used this for a memory game.
Instead of cake or cupcakes, Cole chose to have root beer floats. It made it very easy.
For games we played pass the dynamite (like hot potato), target practice with Nerf guns and a outline of a man I made, laser beams, and bomb detonation.
The kids loved detonating (popping) the bombs.
While the kids were having their root beer floats there was a knock on the door and an envelope was delivered. Inside was a flash drive with a message from the Spy Academy president. He let us know that an evil man stole all the goody bags and attached them to a bomb. If we didn't find the bomb and detonate it in time the goody bags would be destroyed. The first clue led us to the tree house mailbox.
Clue #2 was on the door of the shed.
Clue #3 on the trampoline.
Clue #4 in the tire swing.
Finally they found the bomb hidden in a cooler inside the wheelbarrow. It was a piñata shaped as a bomb. The kids destroyed it and got the treat inside which was the parts to make marshmallow shooters. We put them together and handed out the goody bags.
The boys checking out the first clue. Trevor is dressed as a bad guy and Cole is dressed as a spy.
Cole got lots of great gifts.
He loved having the kids sing Happy Birthday! He was one happy little boy.
This was by far one of the craziest parties we have thrown. The boys were all very excited and went through the activities very quickly. Luckily we have a trampoline and tire swings to keep them busy.
