even though the party planning was stressful to say the least,
it turned out great.
oh and i warn you, there are a ton of pictures.
the party started with a table full of dora crafts for the girls
and b.b.q chicken quesadilla, homemade cinnamon chips and fruit salsa,
steamed soy beans, and lemonade.
then it was time for the scavenger hunt.
me saying, “who wants to go on an adventure with dora and boots?”
love ana’s enthusiasm and her excited scream.
each girl got a backpack with things to help with their adventure,
like this dora adventure hat.
girls waiting for everyone to come outside. the weather was perfect.
“who do we need when we don’t know which place to go?” “THE MAP!” everyone yelled out, so they all got their maps out from their backpacks.
1st on the map was to find the tallest tree.
once they reached the tree, they had to put on their special sunglasses
that lets them see the bubbles that they had to pop.
the next on the map was the rubber ducks.
there was a croccodile coming towards them so they had to save the ducks.
then the troll bridge. they had to solve a riddle that led to the swiper.
then the swiper came and scared them with some fireworks smoke.
even the smoke was pink.
then we all yelled out, “SWIPER NO SWIPING!” 3 times
and the swiper said, “OH MAN!” and walked away.
then the girls all cheered.
our 3rd and last destination was the treasure box. there were binoculars in the backpacks to look for the treasure but i completely forgot about it! 🙁 but once they saw the treasure, they got so excited and all ran towards it.our 3rd and last destination was the treasure box. there were binoculars in the backpacks to look for the treasure but i completely forgot about it! 🙁 
the treasures were diamond rings, gold chocolates, and candies.

i think adalie’s favorite part was the map. every picture of her is of her looking at the map. 
adi showing off her bling bling.
they all completed the mission so well!
they each got a dora “we did it!” certificate with their name on it and dora stickers.
jay says he had more fun watching me than the girls
since i had to be all enthusiastic and animated.
then it was time for some strawberry ice-cream cupcakes.
opening her presents

You are the cutest and most creative mom ever. You look amazing too I love the bangs. I am sure your little girl is never going to forget that one.
thanks for your words! and i googled ideas on a dora party and found the idea for the treasure hunt. so it wasn't really my idea or me being very creative. 🙂
and thanks ashley, you're so kind.
