Sacramento trip

We ran up to Sacramento during Labor Day weekend for Jason's niece's baptism.  They live on a mini farm and the kids had a blast running around like crazies at their house. 

 Grandpa DeMille & Uncle Brandon built this amazing treehouse/ playground.  Hayden was in heaven!

 Friday night Aunt Darcie threw Maren a Harry Potter themed birthday party.  Maren just turned 8 and has read the first 3 Harry Potter books.  She's in love with anything Harry Potter and Aunt Darie went all out!  We had a sorting ceremony and each kid was put into a house.  Luckily we were all in Griffindoyr (just like Harry :)

 Next we had Uncle Brandon see which wand chose us and he told us the history of the wand.  Taylor's was made of unicorn dust and pink butterfly wings.

 Tyson's was made of chicken feet and troll snot.  Go figure :)

 Ryan's was of course made of adorableness and rainbows.  She had everyone wrapped around her little finger 5 minutes after we got there.

 Each kid got to paint their wands any color they'd like.  They got to take them home in this official box from Ollivander's.  So cute!

 Next it was on to Butter Beer making!!  I'm telling you this was an amazing Harry Potter party!!

 So awesome & yummy!!

I'm adding the recipe because it would be a fun FHE activity or any night of the week activity actually!
Cream soda= butter brew
butterscotch= dragon venom
Cool Whip= cloud fluff
pinch of cinnamon= unicorn dust
dry ice= troll rock

The kids were mesmerized while Aunt Darcie was making their very own Butter Beer.  The adults were amazed by how yummy it actually was.  Such an awesome party!  Thanks Aunt Darcie & Uncle Brandon!!!
