Camp Finnegan

I saw an idea for a camping birthday party months ago and just knew that it was PERFECT for Finn!  When I asked him about the idea he almost peed his pants!  He’s been talking about his birthday since his last birthday, so he was SUPER excited the day was finally here!

I made his invitations by hand myself, and I have to say I’m really proud of the way they turned out!  Tents!

And I’ve been saving these for the last couple of months!  Turned them into binoculars that we put them in the goody bags!

The goody bags also had mini compasses, these awesome glow stick/flashlights/whistles and trail mix!

Trail mix bags with sticker labels!  I made two kinds of snacks, trail mix and s’mores mix!

I have to give a major shout out to our friends who camped over in July in Atlanta!  We had a great time and we made some really awesome memories for a special 4 year old boy!

Happy Birthday Finnegan!
