An Adventure Girl Birthday

We don't do birthday parties every year (we celebrate in other ways), but this year was a year that we told Sam she could have a party. We asked her what she wanted. Carte blanche.

She said she wanted an "adventure girl party"…and then later revised it to an "adventure princess party." She said she only wanted two friends (and Abby, of course). Well, that sounded fun! After I stopped being amazed at how AWESOME my daughter is, Chris and I started dreaming up a sort of "amazing race for 7 year old girls." And here is what we came up with…

Phase 1: The girls made "adventure girl wristbands" and then searched for junk treasures on the hill.



Phase 2: We drove to a local park for rock climbing, creek walking, and picnic dinner.




Phase 3 (my favorite): We drove to another local park and the girls were released to hike up to an overlook tower where they found birthday treats waiting for them. They then decided to keep hiking to the next two towers in the park and discovered this amazing bridge!






Our time concluded with a little frolicking, with wings and bubbles of course. 
The weather was lovely (after a windy/rainy start to the day). 
A good time was most definitely had by all!


Happy birthday Samantha Joy, our little adventure girl!

Hannah is not pictured because we made the VERY wise decision to leave her with a babysitter. 
Next year, baby.
