Jonah's 8th Birthday Megabash

The Sands Beach Club in Atlantic Beach, NY once again proved to be the most incredible place for an 8 year old birthday party. My Jonah bear was the master of the beach for a full 6 hour birthday scavenger hunt, dance party (complete with faux-cash prizes), hoola contest, pinata bash, water balloon toss, dodgeball, sunset photos, and more smiles than you can shake a stick at. It took me nearly a week to plan, purchase, map out, write the clues, and bury the treasure for Jonah's scavenger hunt - but it was worth every minute! Just look at smile on this birthday boy...
