More Birthday Fun...
Hi all. More birthday news, Gideon is turned six on Sunday. The party was a bit of an event. The six of us went down to Woodhaugh Gardens(by Jens old 'flat') where we met Grant's brother Rodney, and his girlfriend Akari. 4 of Gideons friends showed up, exchanged presents and then jumped in to their togs(it was a scorching 12 degrees celsius, with cloudy skies and a cool wind) for a play in the paddling pool.
The kids played a few games and slowly turned blue around the lips, espiecally little Ethan.
we had a bit of a cook up on the BBQ, and then broke out 3 buckets of Water Bombs for the grand finale. Photos to come. As we cleaned up, the heavens opened and the kids got dressed. So far everything had gone well.
Things turned to custard when we decided that the best way to beat the weather was to head in to MacDonalds on the main street for an ice cream and a play in the indoor playground. We kinda forgot that the main street was chaos due to the University Graduation ceremony that starts with all the students marching down the main drag!
After battling our way to the golden arches, dropping off the kids, and then finding a carpark, feeding everyone an icecream and then heading back to the car, things got ugly.
Grant and Rod drove round to the rendevous point out the back of Maccy-Ds. Sarah strted ferrying the kids down the stairs to the car. Unfortunately, Caleb decided to follow her, but took a right instead of the crucial Left, and then wound up on the main street with the crowds.....
10 minutes later he was found on the other side of St Andrew St. I still don't want to think how he managed to get over the road without getting nailed by a car.
Once we got the Caleb-meister back, who incidently couldn't see what all of the fuss was about, we ditched all the visiting kids at their respective homes, and went home to try and de-stress.......
One Birthday party gone for good
