Anyone have any ideas for a surprise birthday party while camping?

My dh will turn 30 on April 26. We are going camping with some dear friends the weekend before his birthday. My friend, Emily, thinks it would be fun to have some kind of surprise birthday celebration while we're camping...but we can't think of anything to do!    I was thinking that I could get some gifts, mail them to her (she lives in Nebraska), and she could bring them camping (to keep it secret from dh)...we also thought about bringing his favorite beer...bringing a cake (again, Emily would have to bring it in order to keep everything a surprise)...any other ideas???

Dawn, who is not a very good party planner

Great ideas, Dawn! We have had many a bday party on the road. A favorite is to sneak streamers into our luggage/camping gear and after everyone is asleep, stream the area! We have been known to stick birthday candles into any food available when a cake isn't.

Have fun and happy birthday to your dh.

Love,

Sounds like a fun time, Dawn!

My only thought was what Angie suggested - streaming the campground!

Enjoy!
