Let's go Exploring....

....with Dora!

My girls' birthdays are two days apart and we love celebrating birthdays so that week gets a little crazy around our house (as if it isn't crazy already--ha!)

Kennedy chose Dora the Explorer for her party theme and had no trouble coming up with her guest list (and her list of gifts as well....)

We were so excited to have such a great turnout for her party, we had lots of exploring to do!

Posing with her Dora cake...waiting for her party to begin after church!

I tricked my nephew, James, which they all got a kick out of :o)

Aunt Kara and cousin Lizzie

I came up with a special scavenger hunt. They paired up and each group got a set of clues. They were going up and down the stairs to find Dora related items: boots, flashlights, maps, backpacks and stars!

When they found the boots, they each had to put one on for the rest of the game.

Off to search for the next clue.

The backpack, they had to wear together.

A special thank-you to Chantel for taking pictures for me!

Chantel's daughter, Lauren....Kennedy was so sweet, she gave everyone a hug after opening the gift they brought for her (without prompting!)
