N.L.
We went camping as a family(all my sisters & there kids, my parents etc.) for my sons 2nd birthday. SO we had ice cream at a local ice cream parlor.
But my son has 2 cousins on my husbands side that live close and didn't go camping with us and 3 friends form the neighborhood, that kinda bugged me into having a party too.
So I got some construction paper and made little invites to give to them. Since it was July I set of the sprinkler, and the little kids pool (the one that is like a foot or two deep. They all had fun playing in the water and then cupcakes and the bubble machine.
As party favors I gave each kid a silly cup with the handle that is a straw and put stickers, temporary tattoos, bubbles and a few pieces of candy in it. His friends still use the cup.
