The Back to The Future Shindig

Here I am! I just finished my home made flame trails. Making a "Great Scott! It's Isaac's party sign for the yard.

Here's the "clock tower" (note the clock is stuck at 10:04) and cable that the flame trails were taped to the walls beneath. The cable was later used to add a zip line to the playground in the back yard. I also had the movie playing in the living room during the party.

The kick ass cake. I bought a really ugly cake at the grocery store. I'm 4 days post op so baking is not in the cards. I just crushed Oreos to make soil and used it to cover the ugly balloons. It worked out nicely. Mike made the praying mantis tractor from Coraline out of fimo clay. He bought tiny lights for the eyes and covered them with the bubbles on the bottom of a Coke bottle painted yellow. As you can see, it came out wonderful! I also bought the candles with colored flames they were a nice touch.

The birthday boy with one of his gifts. Note he's wearing his Marty McFly vest.

It was a nice party all things considered. I was thrilled to meet some of his school friends. He got wonderful gifts. I was very impressed, a motion sensor pterodactyl, Lego interceptor ship from Star Wars, Cars 2, a drawing robot, great books and amazing gift cards. What a lucky kid.
