Haley's 10th Birthday Party

Haley turned 10 this year. We let the kids have a party with their friends every other year so Haley decided on a detective party. The invitation said that we needed help finding her birthday cake.

Each girl was given a notebook when they got here. This would be used for some of the games we had planned.
We put 15 items on this serving tray and the girls got to look at it for 45 seconds and then see how many things they could list in their notebooks. I think the highest number was 12 or 13.
We also had four jars filled with different types of candy and they got to guess how many pieces of candy was in each jar. The closest won the candy.
Then they were sent on a treasure hunt to find the missing cake/cupcakes. The hunt was a little more challenging. Zach had a lot of fun preparing the hunt for them. He had some pretty cleaver clues. One clue sent them to the ipod in Luke's room which they had to search for the clue. When they found the song to play it sent them running to the car. One clue they had to sit and write down some letters in a certain way in their notebooks.
We had a lot of fun at Haley's party. I wasn't quite sure what to do for her party but once we found the idea we just went with it and it turned out great!
