Happy 4th Birthday Brigid

Saturday morning we headed to Red Lion for our May Aunts Meeting at Lynda's house.  She has not had a meeting in years and it was nice seeing her little house again.  None of the other younger kids were there so poor Baylor had to play alone when I was visiting with the family.  He brought some toys along with helped but he was more often bored and asking for me to play with him.  


Lynda brought out some chalk and we both decorated the sidewalk and wall for her.  


After brunch, we headed to Heather's camp for Brigid's birthday party.  At a light I saw this sign at a local business.  I was reminded how nice it is to live in a country where people are free to say what they want, and not worry about the government coming after them.  


Heather had the camper and grounds decorated in a pink camp birthday theme.  It was lovely. 



And we had a nice party between the rain!  It was a 50% chance of rain and we won that lottery.  It rained for around an hour and a half.  But we made the best of it between the tents and camper.  The kids watched a movie and when the rain was over, we ate lunch and had a nice afternoon.  We always bring Baylor's bike and the boys took a few trips around the camp grounds.  



Heather found a lot of clever ideas online for the party like the goldfish and pretzel rods snack bags.  


Tackle box with gummy worms and frogs and Swedish fish.  


Next to that was the create your Trail Mix bar which did get a bit damp in the rain but was delicious anyway.  


I bought veggies with Ranch dip and decorated the dip container with twigs and carrots slices cut into flames.   


Heather made a Smore's cake that required toasting the marshmallow topping under a broiler.  A camper oven does not have a broiler so we had a blow torch, that was running on empty!  We did the best we could and had to throw it in the freezer again because the ice cream completely melted!  It never refroze so when it was served it was a bit soft.  But delicious nevertheless!  


We sang and she blew out the candles and ate the soupy and delicious cake!  


The boys plays some football toss and I was surprised Baylor joined in.  He is not very into tossing the ball around but seemed to have fun with the boys.  



Heather had some games planned and due to the rain we only played one, the whipped topping and cheesy poofs toss.  They had fun just suiting up in their shower caps.  



And then receiving their topping.  



Most of them did not get the concept of having to catch as many poofs and were ducking out of the way.  Baylor came in second because I was tossing them on his head.  





We did not leave until nearly 8 and Heather had hobo bags treat bags for the kids to take home.  I had to try to explain what a hobo was which was a bit lost on him but he loved getting a new stick anyway!
