This past weekend we had a special birthday celebration for Justin. He invited Joel, Jonathan E., Jonathan H., Daelen, and Nate. Daddy planned the party with me as his assistant. It was a Superhero Training School. Professor Mayhem’s School for Superheros. We started off with some Mr. Freeze tag, and practice with their webslinging skills (silly string fight). Then we moved into a strength test where they each had a turn at defeating a Spiderman pinata. Next we moved indoors where each of them got to test their strength by busting through a brick wall! I’ve got a great picture of Justin bursting through with great force!
Next everyone tested their heat vision by trying to melt a candle with their eyes. No one seemed to have this super power, so Professor Mayhem demonstrated what this power might look like should they develop it at some point in the future ( he melted a candle with my heat gun). The next activity involved revealing some toxic material (especially if you are from the planet Krypton). We had a round of Kryptonite Toss (hot potato) so they could get some practice at handling dangerous materials. Following this Professor Mayhem demonstratded that he doesn’t have the superpower of X-ray vision as Justin opened his presents.
Then, it was time for the superheroes to suit up. Everyone got dressed in their special suits and we had a special dinner celebration (cupcakes, spiderman cheese nips, ice cream and juice). Jeremy ended by talking to them about why we love superheroes. They always do what’s right, they are strong and they save people. Then, he explained that Jesus is our true hero. He never sinned, He’s strong enough to do anything and he’s the ONLY ONE who can truly SAVE! What a great birthday party. If you want to catch some video footage you can scoot on over to Jer’s blog.
