We celebrated K's 8th Birthday Party at our local park. It was super easy to set up and clean up as well as invite as many guests as she wanted! I stuck with her favorite colors of teal, hot pink and white for decorations. She wanted to decorate canvas totes so I sewed up about 25 bags using two rectangles of 13' x 15' and two strips of 2.5' x 17' for the straps. I bought a rainbow of colors in fabric paint and markers. In retrospect I should have skipped the paint since some kids used too much and their artwork didn't dry before leaving!
For favors, I picked up tubes of bubbles, water guns, and a canvas tote.
I made a 3 layered cake of chocolate, red velvet and white cake in my 9' circular springform baking pan. I decorated it with buttercream frosting in the 3 party theme colors trying to make little rosettes.
The kids had a blast and it was awesome to not have a mess at my house! We will definitely continue going back to the park for birthday parties.
For food, I picked up some bagged chips, go gurt yogurt tubes, capri sun juice boxes, and bottled water. I made pb&j and ham and cheese sandwiches and my husband grilled up some hot dogs. We also had a snow cone machine which was a big hit on this hot day!
