Earlier this month, my “baby” – aka my youngest son – turned 5 years old. Just this fact alone is enough to make the white hairs on my head start to multiply! It literally seems like it was just yesterday that I was bringing him home from the hospital, and now here he is, a big 5-year-old boy already. I know it’s clich\u00e9, but honestly, time goes by like the blink of an eye when it comes to raising children!\"erik-baby-to-five\"<\/a>This year my son really wanted to have a dinosaur party. Lately he’s been showing such an interest in science – he loves anything to do with rocks, fossils, space, etc. This party was a chance to get to show the fun side of dinos, and not so much the scary, meat-eating side like those Jurassic Park movies! Actually, one of my son’s favorite movies about dinos is The Good Dinosaur<\/em>, and so I tried really hard to go with that “good dino” theme!\"dino-party-main-photo\"<\/a>This was also the first year we let him have a kid party, where he got to invite all his little buddies from school and the neighborhood. Yes, we did have 10 little boys running around our house all at one time, and no, nothing ended up broken! Yes, they did get hyped up on chocolate cake, but at least they got to expend all that energy running around outside playing the fun dinosaur games I had planned for them!<\/p>\n

It was a really fun party, and here’s the details in case you’d like to re-create this one for your little dino-loving dude!<\/p>\n

We lucked out and had a gorgeous day for this party – good thing too since I had planned 3 games they could play outside in the backyard for a good chunk of the party…<\/p>\n
