Here it is, finally - the Speckled Duck's newest collection, Get Campy, created for my son's fifth birthday party!

I always say this, but this party was SO fun. It really came together and the kids had a blast! We focused, of course, on camping - and lots of chocolate!! I made a 7 layer chocolate cake with malted chocolate icing, and toasted marshmallow icing – it was AMAZING! I also made s'more cupcakes out of brownie mix that had graham crackers and chocolate chips baked right into the middle... and topped with toasted marshmallow frosting. Yum!! 

I made tents for decorations/party favors. After the party each of the kiddos got to take one home. It was a bit of an undertaking, but SO worth it, they loved them! We also set up a fire pit for marshmallow toasting and s'more making. We served hotdogs with chili and all the fixin's for dinner. And because there can never be too much chocolate, we had a chocolate fountain too! 

My brilliant hubby brought out the kayaks and his home-made wooden boat into the yard for the kids to climb and play in. For an evening in late February, we couldn't have asked for anything better!!
