CAMP TREY

For Trey's 6th birthday party this year we did a camping theme ... which I have to say I had the most fun planning than any other party I've ever hosted!!! For the decor, I went totally rustic. With the help of my boys, Trey & Rhett, we gathered up some random pieces of wood that we had laying around the property and made wooden sign's, along with mason jars, twigs, pine cone's, picnic tables, lanterns, etc .... And of course we had the tent!!

We started the party off by making pinecone bird feeders!! Each kid got a pine cone that they spread peanut butter all over and then we rolled them in bird seed, attached a name tag and hung them from a tree!! These were also the favors that each kiddo got to take home with them!

Next it was time to go fishing in "Lake Beezy"!! I had cut out laminated fish from card stock and then glued a magnet to each fish and put them in our pool, I mean in the lake for the kids to catch!!! We then made fishing pole's out of wooden dowel's that we tied a string too and then also attached a magnet to the end of the string!! So each kid got to go fishing and then which ever color fish they caught was the team they were on for the scavenger hunt that followed! The fishing ended up to be much much more of a hit than I ever expected and I even had kids fishing for fish the next morning!!!

Once everyone had caught a fish and was separated into team's we went out for a scavenger hunt . . . each team was equiped with a bag, a pen & a list of random items to find out in the desert around our house!! I was only able to get 2 of the 4 teams to slow down and get together for a photo op so here is Team Bass & Team Trout!!

The birthday boy wanted brownies instead of a cake for his birthday, so brownies it was!!! Aunt Lacey did an awesome job decorating Trey's brownie complete with a tent, fire pit & fishing pond!! So so cute!

After singing Happy Birthday, grubbing down brownies, and opening presents ... it was time for a little campfire and Smores .. so we headed out to the fire pit and cooked Smores!!

When it was finally time to settle down, the kids that were spending the night (about 10 all together) snuggled up in their sleeping bags in the tent and we put on a movie to end the night!!

The next morning, bright and early, we were up making pancakes & bacon for breakfast and everyone was picked up around 9:30 - 10ish!!

Hope everyone enjoyed Camp Trey and thank you all for coming!!!
