Party Recap
My son loves camping, so we decided on a Great Outdoors/Campout themed party.
Weather is iffy in the Pacific NW in late October, so activities planned were inside/outside.
With a couple fire pits set out under a big canopy, we were able to pull it all off and give it a real camping feel. The guests and birthday guy were all very happy!
