Pokemon Power









Adam had his 8th birthday party on Saturday with all the Pokemon fun you could ask for. There was Pokemon Bingo, a Throw the pokeball in the bucket and win a card game, a Pokemon trivia game, a scavenger hunt, a Team Rocket balloon blast and last but not least, a Pokemon Pinata game.


Brad had the idea to make a pokeball pinata- also referred to as a pokeata. They actually made two which worked out well because two kids could swing at once. He and Adam came up with a fun game to go with it. Instead of just whacking the pokeata, they had to draw a slip of paper indicating how many whacks they could take and whether they were "confused"(spin around and blindfolded), "paralyzed"(blindfolded and only move one arm) or had vision(no restrictions). At first we thought it wasn't going to break. Everyone got at least two whacks and finally a crack developed in the first one and then it was all downhill.

Adam LV.X


Following in Will's footsteps, Adam has decided he would lalso ike to have a Pokemon birthday party. I was trying to come up with a different idea for an invitation when I found a great website- http://www.mypokecard.com/. It lets you make your own custom Pokemon card. So, that's what I used for Adam's invitation. I also included a separate sheet of paper with the location of the party since we're not having it at our house. To make it more realistic, I cut out the faux card and glued it onto a real Pokemon card so it has the same back as a real card.
