Eli turned 6 late April and we held a bowling- bug themed birthday in early May before school got out. April/May can have such unpredictable weather and it was great not to make a mess of my house right before we left on vacation.
After we got back from our family adventure vacation out west camping and hiking in the National Parks I knew I wanted to throw Isaac a camp themed 3rd birthday. The weather did not agree with us and the morning of the party we spent in the closet waiting out a big storm. Most of our friends and family still came, but the majority of the party was indoors. I didn't take a ton of pictures, but we had a campground complete with tents in the playroom. There was a build your own trail mix station plus ribs and other nummy lunch food. Near the end of the party it was dry enough to sit by the campfire and the party was a ton of fun!
Adam turned 8 on a Monday night. We celebrated with just the family that night at pie in the park. Then a couple Fridays ago just Adam, Nate, Nate's Mom and I went to the Science Museum for his "party". It was an appropriate way to celebrate Adam's 8th birthday. Afterwards we spent the night at his friends house in Wisconsin with the rest of both families and we were all able to catch up and chat.
