Man vs. Wild bday

We have two little boys with birthdays in October, so I rounded them all up and we went to a coveted spot for haircuts- Cookie Cutters.  We only come here once a year, for their birthdays.

Aren't they handsome??

We decided to have Sunshine's birthday up at the cabin, so I made the cake to match:

The morning of his birthday, we had the wall of streamers...

... and a special spot to sit in at the table.

He was so excited to receive his art kit!  This little football player loves art!

Then we headed up to the cabin to get ready.  He invited a few friends from his football team.

The theme was MAN VS. WILD.  First they had to shoot an arrow at a target.  Second, they had to see who could melt an ice cube the fastest in their hands.

They had to throw a parachute man onto a target.

And last was rowing all the boys across the pond!

Once they all made it over there, they had to search for a Survival Box.  No clues for these big boys.

They found it after some good searching.  Inside was some goody bags.

And they had one last task to earn their Survival Bandannas!

OK, OK.  Those are worms made out of jello.

They wore their bandannas proudly.  And Sunshine lost a tooth!!

Lighting the candles.

How else can you light a candle in the woods??
