It is so fun that Bennett comes up with his own party theme every year...well for 4, 5, and 6. He decides and I execute. This year he chose a deer hunting birthday party. I didn't even know what we would do for it. I got on trusty old Pinterest and made it happen! Who knew there were several different blow up animals on Amazon just for pretend shooting?? And they were reasonable! It was a great birthday for our 6 year old.
Since we have a bigger yard now, our back yard was going to be the perfect place for it until a monsoon came in pouring rain for 3 days before the party. We had to have a last minute change of location at 3:30 the day before. We moved it to ST and it was just perfect!
Neil and I were able to take Henry to Trace Kids on Friday night so we could set everything up. Sis stayed with us and Bennett was at Sam's house. This isn't really what we envisioned for an outdoor hunting party, but it was perfect. The boys played and were contained. And no one got muddy!
