July 2008 Berkeley Birthday Party Photos
Berkeley had his friends over today for a birthday party in the morning and afternoon (11am-1pm). The theme for the party was baseball. We (well Kristy) had the great idea of making the activities for the party function as various aspects of a fictional baseball training camp.

Berkeley's Birthday Bash: Baseball Training Camp

The first activity ("Uniforms") consisted of the kids painting the first letter of their names on hats. The second activity ("Catching Practice") was a water balloon toss. The third activity ("Hitting Practice") was simply whacking at a piñata. And finally, the fourth activity ("Running Practice") involved the two teams - the red team and the blue team - competing in a relay race between some bases.

Here are the two teams... the blue team is pictured on the left and the red team is pictured on the right:


From left to right on the blue team: Becky (friend from Church), Nathan (cousin), Eliana, Jake (friend from school), Fox (friend from both school and Church), and Nandi (friend from Church). Not pictured: Ebey and Emily (cousins).	From left to right on the red team: Mitchell (friend from school), Samuel (friend from school), Berkeley (the birthday boy), Isabella (neighbor), Tucker (friend from Church), Isabella (cousin), and Olivia. Note pictured: Kate (neighbor).

Here are a couple of pictures of two of the group activities... painting hats and hitting the piñata.

Batting practice on the piñata.

After the games we hosted a lunch (of hot dogs), ate some cake, and opened presents:

Enjoying the birthday cake.

Opening the presents. There were plenty!

After lunch we played baseball and had concessions (peanuts, popcorn, licorice, cotton candy).
