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!

    When my kiddo saw his special birthday dessert: a cherry pie-in-a-jar. He loved it!

    When all the kids (24!) descended on our neighborhood for the scavenger hunt! They were split into teams because there were so many, but they automatically assumed they were competing, so it was crazy-fun!
