Today is Tristan's 5th birthday. We had his party yesterday and he requested to have a dinosaur party. I made this volcano cake with dinosaur candles. 
After his party friends all got here and did a few crafts, we went on a treasure hunt. The end "prize" was a baby dinosaur in a camouflage egg. We then took the baby dinosaurs through an obstacle course which included pteranodon terrace (jumping off a big rock in front of our house), stegosaurus swamp (jumping through hoops placed on the ground), volcano valley (a maze through cones), tyrannosaurus tunnel and and adventure through brontosaurus forest which led them to a "real" dinosaur track. We then did a little science project with a volcano eruption. Then it was time for presents and cake. You can't see it in the picture above but I put in some dry ice at the top so it looked like the volcano was smoking.
I think the kids had fun. We were happy to celebrate this little boy's birth. He is such a good, sweet kid and we love him!

Well done. Creative birthday parties are becoming a lost art.
That is one cute cake, and to think you baked it in a batter bowl!
Sounds like a fun party. You know how much I love a good theme party. Happy Birthday to Tristan.
