My little sis is turning 12 next Friday so we surprised her tonight with a Scavenger Hunt Birthday Party. Her and a few of her friends were given a clue at the beginning of the night which lead them to the first letter. They had to find six letters at six different places. Each letter came with a clue leading them to the next letter. At the end when they had collected all six letters they unscrambled them to see where the birthday party was taking place.
When she got out of the car we threw environmentally friendly confetti (aka colored cereal) and yelled SURPRISE!!! At first she looked more scared than surprised but once she realized what was going on she had a great time!
The first clue lead them to Star Dust (Katie Caroline's baby horse) where they found their next clue tied to her neck. They found letter "A"
The second clue lead them to the tennis center where most of them have taken tennis lessons together. They found letter "K"
The third clue lead them to Burger King, Katie Caroline loves BK's frozen cokes so much! The girls were supposed to get crowns and wear them before they could get their next clue but Bon Qui Qui behind the counter said they were out of crowns so we talked her co worker into giving us some bags for the girls to wear as crowns instead! :) They found another letter "A"
The fourth clue lead them the cross at Trinity United Methodist Church. This is the church KC was baptized in and this stop on the scavenger hunt was to remind the girls: "Go to the foot of the cross daily and seek Him." They found letter "T"
The fifth clue lead them to the nursery at East Alabama Medical Center. This is where Katie Caroline was born. The girls had to ask the nurses to look in the old record book and see how much Katie Caroline weighed and what time she was born. Jessica and Cassie were very helpful and they even made a pink crib card with all KC's info for the girls to take. They found letter "I"
The last place the girls went was to Target. Here they had to search for "Pet Vet Barbie" and find out what two animals come with her before they could get their next clue. Katie Caroline used to love Barbie and she loves shopping at Target so these two had to be included on the hunt. They found letter "M" and their last clue that said: " _______ means fun!" They knew instantly where they were going......
MIKATA where we enjoyed some delicious Japanese food and entertainment!
I made Katie Caroline a special three tiered birthday cake with hot pink and lime green icing. I was so proud of this cake...it was alot of work but it was worth it cause I really think she like it!
She really thought the initals and filigree on top were cool...so did I! :)
At the end of the night the party was a sucess....now next weekend on the day of her real birthday we are gonna have to come up with something good!
HAHAHA. Environmentally friendly confetti!! I love it.
