Lions and T-Rexes and Bears: Oh My!!!

A little over a month ago, I asked John what he wanted to do for his birthday party. Immediately, without any hesitation, he excitedly said: “I want to go hunting for T-rexes and bears and lions!!!”

Wow! How do you do that for a 4-year-old’s party? But, undaunted, I told him that I thought that was a great idea!

So, with the artistic assistance of my good friend Haylee, and my brother GW, we brought those creatures to the jungle of our backyard, and prepared for the Great Hunt!

Saturday was John’s party, and the 4 boys that he wanted to invite all showed up ready for a hunt! Before the hunt, though, we made some SLIME!!! Like dinosaur guts! {Have you ever made Borax slime? It’s fun, and easy, and really entertaining for kids and adults! Click here for the recipe.}

After the slime, we ventured out back for a hunt. Check out the pictures below to see a little glimpse of the rest of John’s party!
