This year we decided to have Camden's first friends birthday party and he had a blast! We went with a space them since we chose to have it at a local rocket park. He was excited to have school friends, lifegroup friends, and family all there! It was so fun to see him really get into the birthday fun this year!
Such a cool park!
My sweet sister and niece were my set up crew! Totally couldn't have done it without them. This is how they had to ride to the park!
I got this cool idea from my sister-in-law, Galactic trail mix! I forgot to get a pic of the Rocket Fuel table too.
Camden was SO excited!!!
When guests first arrived the kids all played for a while! Then we did cupcakes! Sweet boy was really excited to blow out his candle! (The wind may have helped a little....)
He has no problem being the center of attention...
Sweet friends singing "Happy Birthday"!
Digging in!
After cupcakes, we played some simple games! We divided into boys and girls and did a station rotation. My sweet sister manned the "Pin the Rocket on the Planet" station and Toby and I worked the space lab.
At the space lab, the kids got to dig in dirt to find a moon rock. They then took it to the moon water and the rock dissolved to reveal a special prize inside!
Our last game was a planet hunt! All the kids got little rocket bags and searched for enough planets to fill up their bags. The planets (Easter eggs) were filled with their favors.
Next was gift time! This was the first year he seemed more interested in the presents than the paper:)
Here are some Halle shots from the day! Sweet girl wasn't her normal happy self due to a bizarre schedule she had to keep! We were very thankful for lots of arms to hold her. A HUGE thanks to Nana and Papa for being on duty the whole party!
Thank you to all of our friends and family for making Camden's big day so special!
This party was a blast!!! (Rocket lingo)
