Ninja Nate

Ninja Nate ready to party.  What a fun birthday party with a house full of ninjas.

Praying Mantis?

Kung Fu fighter?

 

The boys each had to find their "ninja names" by using the ninja translator. 

 

All the boys got a sword and a goody box filled with candy (from the ninja piñata),

fortune cookies, Chinese stars and of course...homemade sushi!

Sushi anyone? (rice crispy treats, rolled around a cut piece of

Swedish fish then wrapped in a fruit rollup).

A little something we called...Fruit Ninja!  Nate loves to mix all the sodas together.

You can't have a ninja party without a little Asian cuisine. 

A make-shift bento box, fish, sushi, fruit/veg and of course...pizza rolls

 

Jer setup a ninja training course in the backyard.  Phase I - Balance Beams.

Phase II - Navigating the Ropes Course. 

This was fun watching the boys try to get through without touching any of the strings. 

Phase III (not shown) - Knife Throw. 

After exiting the ropes course the boys threw their swords at a board

with balloons on it.  They loved it!

Ninja piñata...with a twist.  The boys had to kick the piñata, some hit it.  And others...

missed it completely! (ok, Jer had to make it challenging somehow).

Little Ninja Cupcakes

 

Nate was spoiled by his friends who all gave him really nice gifts.

 

I guess we had to spoil him too! 

Nate and the boys in the neighborhood love to have Nerf battles. 

This ninja is ready to go.  Who needs ninja skills when you have an 

auto firing Nerf gun bigger than you are?
