Ryland had a Jawesome birthday party this year. Ever since he started playing this shark game on his table he's been really into sharks: shark toys, video games, shark Lego's, shark shirts...you name it! So we settled on a shark theme and booked
Austin's Park N Pizza for the venue. The weather this year was perfect, normally we run into rain. It was partly cloudy, nice cool breeze, high 60's/low 70s, couldn't have asked for better weather!
The evite
Come take a
BITE out of
Ryland's 6th Birthday Party!
It's a party you can sink your teeth into!
The party will include mini golf, rides, laser tag and arcade games.
Pizza and cake will be provided.
We have the room from 10:30-noon,
then the kids will be able to play as long as they want on all the rides/games.
Once again
Pinterst has been my friend in helping me gather my thoughts for a shark themed party. I found some awesome shark favors at
Oriental Trading Co, a couple really cute cake and cupcake ideas as well as a shark balloon from
Party City. I also managed to find him a Jawsome shark shirt at a consignment event! Couldn't believe my luck on that one, NWT too! :)

For the main cake I baked a red velvet sheet cake and cut it out in the shape of a shark. Of course then Ryland told me he wanted a killer whale cake, hence the brown/black coloring. :) I then made yellow cake cupcakes with tinted blue frosting and added shark lollipops to the top to make it look like a shark head or fin was on top of waves. I think they turned out super cute!

Ryland was super excited to spend the day with his friends from the hood, daycare and Kinder class. They played laser tag, drove the go karts, tried their hands at mini golf, rode some roller coasters and enjoyed the arcade. We made sure to book the earliest time for his party (10:30am) to give them ample time to partake in all the activities, we stayed until 2pm!

We waited until we arrived at home to open all the presents. Ry received some amazing gifts and dived right into playing with them and building Lego's. We presented Ry with a new big boy bike (18") for this birthday, which he immediately wanted to test out.
A big thank you to everyone who came out and celebrated Ryland's 6th birthday with us❣
