5th Birthday Party

Well Joshua's 5th birthday finally draws to a close as yesterday he had his birthday party and today he finally got to open the least few remaining presents. His party was held over Hollywood Bowl in Bas Vegas and was with 12 of his friends from school, nursery and football club.

 

The party was a great success and I think all the kids had a really fun time (with the exception of little Ellis who squished his finger between two balls - ouch). On the first lane the winner was Joshua's very own cousin Mia. On the second lane and the overall winner with the highest score of the day was his school friend Millie. So it was a day of girl power.

 

The bowling party is very good value for money as all the kids got a full game of bowling. Then they each got a hot meal and drink in the party room where they also had some cake and got to sing happy birthday to Josh. Each of Joshua's friends was then given a toy as a present for coming. For Joshua the bowling alley gave him a framed photo of all his friends, a bowling bag and a larger transformers Lego toy. How cool. All of the parents were given tea's, coffee's and hot chocolate, so everyone was happy.

 

Samuel about to power strike a ball down the alley.

Little Ellis before his squished his finger.

A rosey red faced birthday boy. Too much running around like a lunatic!

Brandon was strong enough to lift and carry his own 6lb bowling ball on his own for the first time.

Joshua with his friend Zac (who is also in Brandon's nursery class).

Max and Brandon. Max is a friend from Forest Glade and he also goes to Abacus.

The bowling alley was all blinged up ready for Halloween.

Brandon using tactics to try and put off his competition with silly faces.

No matter how many times you tell the kids to keep away from the ball machine - they all still keep popping their heads and fingers in there. It was only a matter of time.......

All of the bowlers, from L-R. Mia, Ellis, Maisey, Millie, Lilly, Joshua, Sophia, Abigail, Samuel, Brandon, Max and Zac.

Joshua sitting next to Lilly at the party table. Honestly I don't think I have ever seen anyone eat a hot dog and chips as quick as Joshua woofed down his food.

All sitting around a table waiting for their food and cake.

So with Joshua's party over I can now start planning for Halloween, Bonfire Night, Christmas and then Brandon's birthday.
