Swiper, No Swiping!

When Madi turned three I had planned an elaborate Dora birthday party, so as Tyli's birthday approached I figured it would be pretty easy to throw her the same birthday party, especially considering I had the party all planned. Tyli loves Dora so she was excited about the party. I told her that Swiper would be coming to her party. She was so excited and her Dora party quickly turned into a "Vipo" party. If anyone asked she would tell them all about her "Vipo" party.
She invited all of her friends and we had an awesome Dora/Swiper adventure. Swiper stole the key to our treasure and hid it in Balloon Alley. We had to find our maps in our backpack to find out where to go. We then had to go to Crocodile lake where we had to help Boots find his boot (aka pin the boot on boots.) Then we went to Hay Hill where we got to find all of the hidden candy, then we went to balloon alley to hunt for the hidden key in all of the balloons. We found it and were able to open the treasure.
Then we went to have cake and icecream, but swiper had stolen the cake! All we had was a picture of him with the cake. The kids had to hunt him down so he could tell them where the real cake was. Then they all made friends with Swiper. He joined us for presents, cake and icecream and a few games.
Tyli LOVED it! She couldn't stop talking about Swiper and her adventure. Whenever we had to go anywhere (even downstairs) she would say "Wait! I have to check my map!" Then she would pull out her map and check it for where we should go. Being three will definitely be an adventure!
