Alice turned 10. Yes double figures!! So we celebrated with a sleepover and invited all the girls in the class. One was in Australia so couldn't be there, one could only come for dinner so that left four to sleep over. We had pizzas by the pool, did a big treasure hunt / mystery clue game around the condo, watched a movie and then everyone went to bed. In the morning (which began at 5.45am) it was pancakes and dance central and fashion shows and another swim before they all got picked up. I think it all went very well, they are a nice group of girls and Alice had a great time although looked very tired on Sunday. If she wasn't tired enough , we took her and Felicity out in the afternoon to the HP family day at Chinese Gardens where there were carnival games and contests and inflatable obstacles courses etc..Matt and the girls participated in a team sack race/activities course and although Matt managed to catch up a lot of lost ground by passing two other teams, he was narrowly beaten to the finish line. The girls loved the climbing wall and Alice was very successful not getting bucked off the bucking bull. She earned a cheer from the watching crowd.

Well done to the mummy who made it all happen!
ReplyDeleteSounds very exhausting - thankfully they only turn 10 once. We are not planning quite the same celebrations for my 69th (entering the 70th year - remember 3 score and 10)
ReplyDeletelove the glasses Ally :-)
ReplyDeleteHope you had a fun party, love Kim
They may only turn 10 once, but then 11, 12, 13 etc. And their sibling 9, 10, 11, 12 etc. So many more parties to come!
