How to Celebrate a Birthday at Camp

This past week,
while the girls and I were at church camp...

...Baby Girl had to go and turn 6 years old on me!

Her birthday was on July 14th,
the same birthday as one of the 5th grade male campers.

So, WHAT is a Mom to do on such an important day,
while in the boonies,
miles away from the nearest bakery
(AND cell phone tower)?

Plan some birthday surprises, of course!

*******************************************************

First, Baby Girl walked into the dorm
after morning worship to discover...

...her bed ready for a day of birthday fun!

The birthday boy also received...

...a birthday bunk greeting from his mother.

When Baby Girl finally saw her bed...

...she was very surprised...

****************************************************

At lunch time, I provided the birthday kiddos...

...with a Swiss Roll "Cake."

I believe everyone enjoyed the cake......from the young...

...to the young at heart.

**************************************************

Throughout the day, I surprised Baby Girl
with little gifts...

This Princess Tic-Tac-Toe game
(from The Dollar Tree)
ended up providing hours of entertainment
for all the girls in our cabin.

**********************************************

This day of birthday fun ended with Cookie Cakes
provided by the boy camper's mother...

A sweet ending for a sweet girl!

Happy Birthday, Baby Girl!
