Welcome to "Radiator Springs"

Benjamin had a great Cars party a couple of weekends ago. We did have to switch to the "inclement weather plan" the day before the party, but with some modifications we were still able to recreate Benj's favorite movie. Here are a few pictures of the fun:

Guests began to arrive at the Radiator Springs Rodriquez Raceway at 10:00 Saturday morning.

Benjamin was thrilled with his Lightning McQueen cake. (So thrilled, in fact, he couldn't resist poking him in the eye before I had a chance to take a picture. :) )

"Flo's V8 Cafe."
In the movie it was a gas station. In our house we decided the gas station equivalent would be the coffee pot.

"Fillmore's Organic Fuel"
Peace, man.

Benj blew out all the candles!

Preparing for the indoor classic, pin the...Rust-Eze sticker on Lightning McQueen.

The indoor small-space version of the pinata. What are the chances that the LAST string was the magic one?

The kids decorated their own kleenex box race cars with stickers and "sponsor logos" from all their favorite companies (Disney, Pixar, Crayola...)
