Selected as Party of the Day on July 30th!
Graham's Backyard Camping Party
ByParty Recap
We hosted our first "all boy" birthday party for our son's seventh birthday. There were ten little boys ages 4-10.
We started the night with hot dogs, chips and cupcakes. Then moved on to camp games and swimming. We ended the night with smores over the fire and present opening. I think the boys finally fell asleep in the tent a little after midnight!
The next morning we had a "donut bar" with assorted donuts and chocolate milk and orange juice. The boys played outside some more and then came in to watch a movie and wait for parents to pick them up.

Thanks a lot Jillian! This was a fun (and HOT) party! I didn't get around to some planned things due to being unexpectedly out of town until the day before the party, but I am happy with how it turned out. Most importantly, my son loved it! :)
