Rowan's 2nd Birthday Party

There is really only one word to describe Rowan's Birthday Party...HOT! It was over 100 degrees with the heat index and we were all suffering. Grandma Patti nearly passed out! So yeah...it was hot. It was also a lot of fun and I know Rowan had a great time so it was all worth it.

His birthday was Pirate themed. We had the cupcakes made and then I printed out the cupcake toppers and Dave sat and taped them all to toothpicks. Such a good Dad!

I thought for a long time about how to do the treat bags and came up with an idea for a treasure hunt. I made the maps without thinking about the actual park, but it would have been neat to have made the maps more accurate for the kids.

We had each family bring a covered dish and we had sooo much food! It was all delicious! I found an idea on pinterest to cook the hot dogs in a crockpot and then bring them to the park. A much better option than sitting in front of a grill cooking them...especially in that heat!

The treasure map bags included a pirate patch and compass for the kids to put on and use while they looked for buried treasure!
