Operation 8th Birthday Party: The Mess Hall

Earlier that morning Nicole and I scouted out the perfect spot for the Mess Hall, agreeing upon a flatish spot nestled in the trees near our tire swing. Nicole climbed a few trees, we hoisted the ropes up, and voila the Mess Hall was built! Here is what it looked like before the soldiers arrived:

And here it is filled with hungry soldiers!

On the menu for the day were grilled hamburgers, chips, and some star-shaped lime jello. YUM!
