Birthday Camping

My daughter just turned 4.  We had a nice little gathering and made every attempt to meet her desires for her party.  Her requests were the following:  she wanted to go camping and swimming, she wanted a pink mummy style sleeping bag, and she wanted strawberries and Thomas on her birthday cake.  Those were 100% her ideas, and i gotta admit i got a bit teary with the camping and sleeping bag requests. 

We reserved some camp sites at Falls Lake (one of our local lakes), i took kayaks and there was a nice little swim beach, i managed to find a Eureka Lady Bug kids mummy style sleeping bag that had a big pink stripe (and insides), and we decorated her cake meeting her desires (and some of our :)  The party was a hit and i was pretty excited about how our camp scene cake turned out (check out the pic below).

So, with left over holiday candy, some scissors, and toothpicks we made our scene. Graham cracker tent, gummy sleeping bag (cut from a darth vader head) and marshmallow pillow, gum drop fire ring, Twizzler flames, pretzel logs, marshmallow and toothpick roasting marshmallows, chocolate table, Smarty chairs, malt ball shoreline, white chocolate candy bar kayak, toothpick and gummy Yoda ears kayak paddle, and pretzel train tracks.
