Lilah's birthday

Lilah designed a theme for her 9th birthday kid party- Harry Potter/Amazing Race.  

Of course there was a Harry Potter cake (Target creation):

With a little help from mom and dad, Lilah planned out a race with clues and challenges to complete in order to move on, to eventually search for the Sorcerer's Stone. 

Challenges included: 
Carrying a dragon egg on the spoon and passing it to your partner
Harry Potter Word Search
Toss the Snitch (water balloon toss)
Find the secret message in Hermione's Book Bag
Avoid the Troll Monster through the playground bridge
Search for the Sorcerer's Stone to win!



All ended well- Lilah and her partner found the Stone (metallic gold painted rock).  A few tears were shed by a couple of participants who really wanted to win, Gavin being one of the tear shedders.
