Blake's 5th Birthday Party (pic heavy - sorry!)

Sunday 27th October


The yard even LOOKED like a party was about to take place!


All of the gift bags set out...


Cups for each kid - with a torch and a glowstick in them....
(each torch was named so that if the kids dropped them, they knew which one was theirs)

The cups all had the Super Blake B on them too :)


Drew made an amazing Joke head for on the wheelie bin to encourage kids to put their rubbish in the bin.... it was mostly a success!


Rob had gone out to get some stuff for the spa - so we put some smelly liquids into the water... not that it made any real difference....


We hung all of the capes up around the fence so that kids could pick one when they arrived....


Blake was happy with his blue cape....


Angus wanted a blue cape too....


Lil Miss and Rob 


Excited at our first guest..... (I think!)


Marney is definitely one of a kind :)


Angus, Blake and Jade on the trampoline...


Super Bouncers....


It's been a while since we put up the jumping castle....


Ronan & Lily in the jumping castle....


Guests started arriving and the presents started happening... of course Jade wasn't going to let Blake have that to himself!



  





The Maze!




and it wasn't just for kids!  (though, some of the doorways were!)


Poor Greg... he's just too tall!


Perfect Size for Blake though!



Zerky and Lily






The boys playing with their torches.....


And the next group of adults take a tour!




and we're going through again!  
(hey, it was HOT and it was airconditioned in there... the kids were way better off than we were outside!  There were a few of us who had considered taking chairs into the maze and sitting in there for the day.. it was great!)


Angus


The part of the maze near the exit was a huge play area - and a great place to sit...



The Skylanders Ship....
(Drew asked for pics of the Skylanders ship from the game - and then he made Blake his very own!)








 Lunchtime!




Blake and Ryder....
(these two have been best friends at daycare since they were about 18months old... Blake always came home talking Ryder-This and Ryder-That... then we found out when he was about 2.5 that Ryder was exactly the same at home about Blake... and it took us that long to bump into each other in the picking up process!)











This is Blake's little girlfriend Gabi


Blake, Elijah, & Gabi

The Cake!



















Spa Time!

After the majority of the kids had gone, our friends hung around with their kids and we threw them into the spa....  It was a great day... a very long day, but great all the same :)
