Kai's Camping Party

The day after Maya's birthday party back in February, Kai started making plans for his birthday party. The one and only thing that he brought up over and over again was that he wanted to be able to roast marshmallows.


SOOOO, naturally, we came up with the idea to go camping for his birthday party. He was absolutely thrilled at the idea.


So he invited the Campbells, Beddes's, Nana, Papa, and the Newman's to come and party with him at Champoeg state park. I was able to rent the very last cabin they had available and so the kids and I camped out there while the Campbell's got so stay in a tent nearby. It rained for about the first hour but then, other than the muddy ground, stayed pretty dry the rest of the time.





As soon as the fire was lite, Kai asked to roast some marshmallows...

Chillin' around the campfire....

Uncle Spencer had some mad popcorn shaking skills...

Yes, she really did get this dirty. Would you expect any less from Addison?....

Saralyn made Kai a HUGE blueberry pancake for breakfast....

The next day, the kids and I went on a beautiful hike along the river....

Another request of Kai's was to have a pinata (of course)...

We even got to take the kids to a Junior Ranger program the next day....

We had such a fun time camping and celebrating Kai's birthday.

Thank you to everyone who braved the rain and mud to come and Party with the Pabst's!
