Ben’s 3rd Birthday
It was Ben’s third birthday on 1st October – no idea where the 3 years have gone!
For his birthday this year, we threw him a proper birthday party. We rented out a local Scout hut for a couple of hours in the afternoon and invited his little friends and some family. We had food and drinks and Kelly made a wonderful birthday cake in the shape of a castle, which Ben loved. Lots of people turned up with the hut ending up being quite full. All the children enjoyed it (we took some of Ben’s toys for them to play with such as his tent, ball pool and skittles) and were boiling by the end as it turned out to be one of the hottest days of the year! Yes, even in October! So you can imagine how hot it was clearing everything up afterwards.
Ben had lots of lovely presents, so thank you to everyone that gave him a card or present!
Some of the things he had included a little Scalextric, Peppa Pig Space Rocket, Jigsaws, Books, Noddy Car, other toy cars, a robot and clothes. Needless to say he has played with everything loads since he received them, and has enjoyed every minute of it!
Here are some photos of the day –
The day before his birthday, we took him to Jump! for a few hours. We took him fairly early in the morning so it was nice and quiet, and meant that we had the run of the main area for quite a long time. There were events going on throughout the time we were there which included making and decorating a crown and face painting – which Ben enjoyed! We stayed for dinner although Ben didn’t eat much as he was far too excited! Afterwards, we popped in the pub for a drink as we were gasping but didn’t stay long as Ben was completely tired out!
