First the kids loved it because they could make 'cave drawings' and hide inside. Secondly, I loved it because it was a way to get 13 four year olds in the same place very quickly. I would just yell "run to the cave before the dinosaurs get you," and they would laugh and yell and run!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">We had so many fun projects in preparation for this party. The kids loved helping me make this sarcophagus out of old cardboard boxes we had lying around. I was going to put my husband in it, hence it being so large, but the kids loved it so much my husband never got a chance. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">We placed it at the front door so as the guests arrived the birthday boy would walk like a mummy toward them and then take off his mask and say "welcome to my party."</span><br />

<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">This looks a little funny but it was a archeology dig for buried treasure. Things like jewelry, wrapped candy, a compass, etc. all hidden in sand. The boxes just kept everything a little less messy.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNZBiphrB80U2vv6lQMcclKk2nXVrN_CHg9OrGQ4VDQfcuugE9mR-8Ha0vNAf8dFmk667A3J0hPW-p3AvnIjW5quAz6ApiMATdvb1oAFVLFqv0aDOY5jQ-reV0_PIZgoTkR78NsOgWSFw/s1600/IMG_9502.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNZBiphrB80U2vv6lQMcclKk2nXVrN_CHg9OrGQ4VDQfcuugE9mR-8Ha0vNAf8dFmk667A3J0hPW-p3AvnIjW5quAz6ApiMATdvb1oAFVLFqv0aDOY5jQ-reV0_PIZgoTkR78NsOgWSFw/s320/IMG_9502.JPG" width="213" /></span></a></div><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">For easy decor ideas we just filled vases with different colored water and hot glued bugs all over the place. After the party I simply peeled off the bug with the hot glue but you might want to do a test run first. Also, it helps to have a mom that is a frequent visitor at Disneyland and can send you actual copies of movie memorabilia like this crystal skull.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Snakes, I hate snakes! Unfortunately they are a major part in the movie, so we had to have them all over the place.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX3EyqzNjE14iPYcAv6AYiPQf42k7gtDZDMt-McxXVFtSKG41zs8p8TafscDU205EJ8Te0PLAnzx7E-Do6NCnjAMUJtQCGP2N2HcGZtprODQdT7IjZ6qUms_nSnJMWfsuurFqtLD8oSIg/s1600/IMG_9504.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX3EyqzNjE14iPYcAv6AYiPQf42k7gtDZDMt-McxXVFtSKG41zs8p8TafscDU205EJ8Te0PLAnzx7E-Do6NCnjAMUJtQCGP2N2HcGZtprODQdT7IjZ6qUms_nSnJMWfsuurFqtLD8oSIg/s320/IMG_9504.JPG" width="213" /></span></a></div><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">We also covered light fixtures in crepe paper to look like fire and we attached old fabric to bamboo poles to add to the market feel.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiImgmKp0DIZj4ycn2RgpVo7eYvrFIQVwAjeIzcUkDuewSJq-r_jVomIFI3RuZFiJ3b4W8wfqK5QRQHzl5lkWLrIAeS7eT5L_-U_YLYWrcujRIBB0ihmc_3NaeZxG-suTUXBj98mpntcYQ/s1600/IMG_9508.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><img border="0" height="256" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiImgmKp0DIZj4ycn2RgpVo7eYvrFIQVwAjeIzcUkDuewSJq-r_jVomIFI3RuZFiJ3b4W8wfqK5QRQHzl5lkWLrIAeS7eT5L_-U_YLYWrcujRIBB0ihmc_3NaeZxG-suTUXBj98mpntcYQ/s320/IMG_9508.JPG" width="320" /></span></a></div><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">This is my kids' favorite game. It's a team mummy wrap. Each team picked one person the get wrapped up like a mummy. As soon as they were done the mummy had to run around a sacred idol and back in order to win. It was a big hit!</span><br />

<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">We also had a scavenger hunt. I hid clues to each game or activity in places like this. The clues were in plastic baggies in the green water filled with snakes and bugs.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4l28ii3QL_IrDEtRv_G2MoGp_U8rf7kgfstL4jnVn54uR1o_O0cTTtZyLwoIapDakJvQbx021r0njIzaBPtOUobD5aG07LXt8UXSIk0j62nVKgMopqyeaL4LxW4xI_5QUaNwi5x2mUfw/s1600/IMG_9546.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4l28ii3QL_IrDEtRv_G2MoGp_U8rf7kgfstL4jnVn54uR1o_O0cTTtZyLwoIapDakJvQbx021r0njIzaBPtOUobD5aG07LXt8UXSIk0j62nVKgMopqyeaL4LxW4xI_5QUaNwi5x2mUfw/s320/IMG_9546.JPG" width="320" /></span></a></div><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">This activity was hilarious. They were looking for clues in 'monkey brains' aka jello, 'slimy snakes' cooked spaghetti, you get the idea. It was funny because the boys dove right in, the girls however were a little weary about getting messy.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3G2sxKLXuv7IxohCzhy7jzjNj0lMsPwhCokcTaHXBBncv9jxiLX3KgJdmH-g0izByCoHr5obTgb7lUA0E8mJsR5bcdJmzB5u1IxR1kNiLyCOEbFFuqHbYSxCzxjJP6oHgcwfGdW1SjEQ/s1600/IMG_9555.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a></div><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">The final clue led the kids to the treacherous, secret, spider filled caves (our basement) where they would find the lost treasure. The birthday boy led the pack with an L.E.D. lantern. All the kids had their Indiana Jones hats and satchels and they followed with excitement and anticipation. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLu6smbTOMrukwIFKkln6gHvs0mQGFDoTyqSwqeq8Ir3h9o1fflZ7FzXisMv8j8AYlAUcGgBoxGqAcdE16G1Akxuz0AdHnz06L3NTuRgVVCXQyH4Bmkv_PaXh40uoP6trGG8UV2FPZG74/s1600/IMG_9570.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLu6smbTOMrukwIFKkln6gHvs0mQGFDoTyqSwqeq8Ir3h9o1fflZ7FzXisMv8j8AYlAUcGgBoxGqAcdE16G1Akxuz0AdHnz06L3NTuRgVVCXQyH4Bmkv_PaXh40uoP6trGG8UV2FPZG74/s320/IMG_9570.JPG" width="320" /></span></a></div><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">This activity was so fun and wild. The kids loved being covered in silly string so much that it took them a minute to find the treasure.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9ZZh-1YT-oAKXZ_0iF-jlUNOSPKw16s4lCD57TekK2rYtYqTCKDXktiXO-XAZ0CDOSMBTKEek2GpL0i9xbbKSnwUHrS6Kkw1u94jDNPaD_UilxhDwmDshdVXsqDzcU4WGuYxK-jbG-IQ/s1600/IMG_9573.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><img border="0" height="256" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9ZZh-1YT-oAKXZ_0iF-jlUNOSPKw16s4lCD57TekK2rYtYqTCKDXktiXO-XAZ0CDOSMBTKEek2GpL0i9xbbKSnwUHrS6Kkw1u94jDNPaD_UilxhDwmDshdVXsqDzcU4WGuYxK-jbG-IQ/s320/IMG_9573.JPG" width="320" /></span></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"> Alright so this is the treasure after the kids went through it but it was filled with gold coins, chocolate gold coins, chocolate Hershey nuggets, and jewels. The kids divided the treasure in their satchels and we opened presents. My husband decided to turn himself into a Pharaoh and chase some of the kids around, but that was more impromptu fun than an actual planned moment.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">My son made it clear to his guests that he was the real Indiana Jones and the rest of them were all just pretending. He took the whole thing pretty seriously and made sure that his friends were safe at his adventurous birthday party.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><i>Thinking of throwing an Under the Sea party to make the summer even more fun? It's so easy to put together. I just wanted to throw a mini party, not a birthday, not a holiday party. Just a fun play date with a theme and some activities.</i></div><i><br />
</i><br />
<i>1. Seaweed Tangle</i><br />
<i>A game where (in one room only) you attach a plastic spoon to one end of a long string of yarn and a prize at the other end. You tangle the yarn (or seaweed) throughout the room and hide the treasure/prize end where it can't be seen. Upon arrival the kids find their spoon and wrap the yarn around it as they look for the end prize. For bigger kids you could even occasionally shoot silly string at them making it a real seaweed mess.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>2. Ocean Treats</i><br />
<i>The hit of the party was these little shark cupcakes. The cupcakes were </i><i>pre</i><i>-bought and happen to come in green and blue. I added little shark fins and the kids went gaga. Other classics are dolphin and shark nuggets, blue jello, </i><i>fishies</i><i> crackers, gummy fish, Swedish fish, and gummy octopus.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>3. Sea Foam Stickers</i><br />
<i>Foam stickers are a favorite of mine because you can buy them in big tubs, pour them on a table, and let the kids go crazy decorating their own treat bags. In this case we doubled up and I had them decorate their bags as well as the inside of their aquarium or porthole.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>4. Decorations</i><br />
<i>Of course pom poms are the easiest but I also happen to have streamers on hand. I bought some dollar store fish and the kids helped me to decorate an ocean around the house. </i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><i>Here is an example of a paper plate porthole. I think I made these when I was little. It's a long time classic and made from blue cellophane, two paper plates and some kid creativity.

There are those of us who are dying to see some real couture fashion. Something that is glamorous, sparkly, over-the-top, and fit for a the princess we all dream of being. Then there is the category that is a little more realistic. Kate has always been fashionable but never making a bold statement. She blends in to the crowd (if your crowd is super fancy and posh) and she isn't ever going to be found on a worst dress list. At least unless she is walking the catwalk in the lace getup that apparently caught the eye of the future king of England. Didn't Henry the eighth find his wives the same way.
