Just a camping kind of day

Holly's birthday is fast approaching so on Saturday we had the girls from her class over for a little birthday party, camping style.  The best part about this camping themed birthday party is it was entirely thought up and planned by Mia and Holly.  I just was put to work on the details.  :)
Every good campground has a registration desk, a camp ranger and a list of the daily activities, right?
After the girls arrived, we had a scavenger hunt and at every stop they found a little piece of camping gear (thanks to Oriental Trading Co.)

Then it was "pin the clothes on the clothesline". 
Presents!

And beading!  If you want to keep a bunch of kiddos occupied for a length of time get some of these wonderful melting beads (from JoAnn's or Michael's).  I think they sat at the table and did this for over an hour!

Finally, some cake! Which they really didn't need since they had s'more with their lunch but they ate it anyways.

What a fun bunch of girls! We are so thankful for each of them.

What a super fun party! Your girls are so creative (wonder where they got that from...).

Gotta love Oriental Trading Company. They supplied Sadie's hiking birthday party in October. :)

Looks like a fun party...and probably a tad bit quieter than Kaiden's "sports theme" party with 13 little boys. So much fun!
Happy Birthday Miss Holly!! We love you!
