This past weekend we celebrated Nate's 5th birthday with a "camp-out" themed birthday party!
Fortunately, we live within a mile of Alabama's largest state park, Oak Mountain State Park. We sent up camp at one of the park's smaller pavilions, and enjoyed being able to also be so close to one of the park's beautiful lakes!
Nate had a blast showing off his fishing skills to all of his little friends. The kids also made bird feeders with pine cones, peanut butter and bird seed.
I also set up a scavenger hunt for them, and each clue they discovered led them closer to their party goodie bags hidden inside of a tent we had set up.
Their treat bags included a small flashlight, ingredients for s'mores (Graham crackers, marshmallows, and chocolate) as well as a small bag of gummy worms and Swedish fish.
Overall, the kids all had a great time! Our family, along with a friend, camped out on Saturday night, and the Nate and Jules LOVED the experience. The one drawback: Oh My Word, was it HOT! Next year, I think we'll plan Nate's party somewhere inside!

How fun!!! I wish we could have been there! Happy birthday to Nate! Love you! Hope to see you all soon!
You may have a second career as a party planner....so creative and so much fun for all. I'm going to borrow a few of those ideas:)
