Camp-out Party

For Maddie's Seventh birthday party, she decided on a camp-out theme. We invited her first grade class along with the family. We built a campfire in our backyard. We started the party with a nature scavenger hunt. This was Maddie's group.Pappy brought a tent and set it up. Caden enjoyed playing here most of the night.He also spent a lot of time getting the fire ready. He is quite the helper these days. The menu was easy!! Hot Dogs taste best roasted over a fire.

I had so much fun with the cake. The grass is dyed coconut, the tent is a chocolate pop tart, the sleeping bag is an iced graham cracker, the trees are iced sugar cones, the camp fire logs are pretzels, and for the fire, we used the actual candles.

I think the kids got a kick out of it.

April and Adelyn joined us for chocolate cake.

Nothing like sticky fingers from s'mores.
The glow sticks were our party favors and a huge hit.
One of Maddie's friends told me it was the "best night of her life" . What a great way to celebrate one of the best days of my life, the day God gave us my sweet Madison.
