Spiderman

To help our little guy celebrate his big 5, we went camping!  Actually, we had already planned to go camping with a group of friends months ago, but since we got there on his birthday, we decided to celebrate there!  It was perfect!  Since he is basically obsessed with anything superhero, he picked a spiderman theme and we went with it.  James spent DAYS creating the most "freaking awesome" spiderman pinata (Ethan's words)...

 It really was quite amazing and I wish we could have kept it! But after finding the perfect tree (we were surrounded by trees, but they were all so tall!), we let Ethie and the other cute kids go at it.  Here's Ethie man in his spiderman mask and glove...

Pinatas are so much fun when you're a kid!  I had made chocolate spiderman cupcakes at Ethie's request, but they all were pretty much melted by the time we got to eat them.  Notice how sweaty these kids are.  It was SO hot!

I love this face!  Hope you got your wish, Ethie-man!!!

That morning, James and I decorated the apartment and when Ethie woke up, we gave him his big present... a big boy bike!  He had pretty much outgrown his other one since he is so tall.  He's so grown up! 

Happy birthday, Ethie-man!!!
