Ben is 11...and karate is fun

We've never done a birthday party at a place before, always at home. I like home parties better. They're more creative, personal, and cheaper. But. Awhile back Scott bid on a karate party in a silent auction. He bid $5. And guess what?


Well, for five bucks we'll give it a go. He got to invite a ton of friends and the little girls could participate as well. They played several versions of tag, did an obstacle course, and learned some sweet moves.




Bonus: Ben got to break a board. Double-bonus: he got to keep the outfit, sweet!



Oh yeah, and did I mention cutting his cake with a sword?




Last thing, Ben's cake was another pinterest-inspired success. Easy and he loved it.
