Happy Campers

I was a little concerned about having a campout since it didn't stop raining all week, until Friday, finally Mr.Golden sun, just in time for Xander's birthday.

Thanks to my mom for making an ice cream oreo cake, a little hard to read in pic but spells out Camp Xan with chocolate rocks- didn't know these existed, kind of fun. The boys thought it was pretty fun to eat the rocks and find hidden gummy worms inside the cake (gross).

Divided the boys (and a couple girls) into 2 teams and conquered the state streets with a birthday scavenger hunt.

HIt up Mrs.Anderson's house for an old sock and a picture of a dog
Toughest items to find for team green, a 1999 penny and a fruit loop (cereal)- still finished just a few minutes before team blue.

Thanks to the Henry's for supplying the tent that the boys slept in ALL night, couldn't believe it, worn out by smores, scavenger & treasure hunt, burgers & brats, ice cream cake & flashlight tag maybe?

Asleep by 1130 & this pic was at 740am (I had to sneak in a pic of bed head) This was a great group of boys, you wouldn't know they were from 4 different elementary schools, they got along fabulous.

Trav and Jude slept in a smaller tent next to them, Jude was thrilled.
