Birthday Camp Out

About a month ago Tj was talking and asked Joel what he wanted to do for his birthday. Joel said he wanted to go camping. We talked to him and asked if he wanted to do that instead of a party and he was adamant that's what he wanted to do. Shortly after he decided he wanted his friends to come camping with him. So we invited a few friends to go with us who were so gracious to come along with us. We were then pleasantly surprised to have Nama AND Pa come camping with us too. It was a great trip!

I spent lots of time and effort on his cupcakes. lol

Singing happy birthday, and blowing out the candles.

It was pretty fun night. Of course a camp out is not camping without s'mores.

Check out these monster marshmallows!

We had so much fun with our friends. It was so nice of them to take the time to go camping with us and the boys had so much fun camping with their friends and Nama and Pa. :)
