Gabe's birthday was last week. It fell on one of the busiest days of the week, Saturday! With all of our activities going on, Father and Sons campout, baseball game, picnics, etc, I fretted over when to have a birthday party.
Finally it struck me....nearly all of his best friends were going to be at the campout. Why not combine his party with the campout? I was so thrilled with my idea, that we followed through with it.
We invited one of Gabe's friends from school to come with us. Then we invited several boys from the ward over to our house. We played, had cake and ice cream and opened presents here, then Jeff took a car full of boys to the campout. They roasted hot dogs for dinner and had their fill of s'mores. Most of the boys went to sleep with their fathers, but they were back together in the morning to eat breakfast, play football and climb trees. It was a great birthday party!
