Planning a 10th Birthday Party for my oldest son was a big deal! After all, he is officially in the double digits...this is a milestone! He'll never see single digits again. He was feeling a little adventurous and decided he would like an outdoor/overnight camping party. He's never been camping (and neither have most of his friends for that matter!) I wasn't sure how this was going to play out but, what ten year old wouldn't like a 16 hour party all about him and fun?

The Pennant Banner in the background
as I was trying to setup and guests are arriving!
The Camping invitations and matching thank you notes are from candlesandfavors.com
The directional signs (compliments of my husband) were at the entrance
and throughout the subdivision. They looked great!
As everyone arrived they received their Camping Gear:
camouflage backsacks with sling shots, bug spray and mini flashlights.
The sling shot contest and making friendship wristbands!
Chicken Bites, Hot dogs, Chips, Ants on a Log
(peanut butter & jelly on a graham stick),
Swamp Pudding (chocolate pudding with crushed oreos & gummy worms)
and Owl Cookies and Cake Pops were a few of the party foods.
We had cookie cake for the campers and regular cake for family and friends.
An Outdoor Movie was set-up, but the boys were more interested in midnight
baseball and flashlight tag until wee hours of the morning!

A trail mix bar for the hungry campers to mix themselves.
I couldn't setup the breakfast table fast enough...
the boys were exhausted & famished!!!
Donuts, assorted cereals and poptarts along with milk & sunny delights!
The tent the next morning looked like a frat house.
Owl S'mores, inspired by LivingLocurto.com,
were given to friends as party favors!
