Whoa... It's time for a 5th birthday party! Super Hero style

Somehow, it's time for my baby's 5th birthday! Where has time gone?

This year, he wanted his party to be at the local gymnastics place, so mommy had to tone down the party craziness, but I still worked in a little fun.

The theme was super heroes, but we focused on Hulk and Captain America. We had green, blue and red juice barrels and Coke and Sprite since they were the right colors.

 For the Hulk section, we had green grapes and green veggie straws. Captain America got blue and red pretzel melts and blue tortilla chips. I also made different kinds of sandwiches and they each got a toothpick cupcake topper with a different hero.

 
Captain America's shield was made from strawberries and marshmallows with blueberries in the center and fruit dip in a star-shaped bowl I found in the candle section of Dollar Tree.

 
And, here's the cake!
