day 91 blog 80 gabe's super hero 4th bday party

last sunday we attended gabe's 4th bday party at coronado spreckles park...

warning...there are a LOT of photos if you aren't friends or family...still a lot of cute shots, though...

we were told it was super hero-themed and to come dressed as one or leave as one...so we all wore red rover pets red doggy shirts to be super doggy heros of some sort (i never really got into super heroes nor know many current ones)...thanks uncle jeremy our dear friend in the bay area who has a thriving pet care business and provided us with the shirts...
all the kids ran straight to the play equipment...i thought it was sweet that sea was offering to push her little "brudder"...
and you can see in these next two shots how much he adores her...

here is the birthday boy with sea...
and then his mom orchestrating a treasure hunt...
the kids took off to get their first clue...sea is nearly flying...
more running...
story and his friend sachi stayed back to play with the "ba-ba" and share snacks together...
their rewards from the quest was capes, masks and a star with the first letter of their names...sea is really excited or trying to show off her powers...
proudly showing off...
a semi-group shot...
i like how serious the boys are...
LOVE this shot of story in his cape and tennies...shadow, sunlight highlighting his face...lollipop...
sea with one of her best friends, ruhi...
gabe eying the cupcakes...
sea doing the same only through her mask...
yes, sea did take two and no one questioned her!
she later said one was for someone else but only when i asked her about it...
birthday boy...
with his #4 candle...
story concentrating on his...
oh wait, my son also had his lollipop at the same time...they both have my sugar tooth!
sea dancing, wiggling, jumping around while eating her cupcake...
gabe with his family...
group shot...
i love how sea pulled story in and his cape was still flying...
yes, she was still jumping around...
gabe "flying" around his dad...
one of the other dads let them try out their super hero powers to "catch" him...
sea chasing...
catching up to gabe...
sea watching gabe open her gift (she painted the wrapping paper and wrote his and her name on it)...
story snuggling up to sachi again...
her looking back...
touching lollipops to one another...
and finally, the three doggies although i think we lost our capes/masks/letters by the end...thanks gabe (and family) for a really, really fun party!
