Blake's 9th Backyard Campout Birthday

My son wanted to have some friends sleep over for his birthday, so we hosted a backyard campout. The party included miniature golf, arcade games, a neighborhood trail map scavenger hunt, a pinata, a silly string war and a giant dessert table. After so much fun and sugar, I guess it's no surprise that we had trouble getting them to go to sleep!
