Birthday Parties Galore!
Towards the end of last year (2013), Ben was invited to about 4 birthday parties in a 3 week period. He went to all of them and enjoyed them all! They were all quite different as well.
One was at the Scooter and Skate park behind the Vue Cinema on a Saturday evening, which turned out to be really good. Aaron was allowed to go as well so he had Ben’s old Spider-Man scooter whereas Ben had the new one that he had had for his birthday. We all stayed for the 2 hours and I had a go on Ben’s scooter as well, and quite enjoyed it myself! It was really cold in there though as no heating but was good fun and the boys enjoyed it. They were both bombing around the place (Aaron was a little slower) and didn’t get hurt which is what we were worried about!
Another was at a place called Dingles Fairground, and this was excellent as we were all allowed to go as well (an extra £10 for Aaron though)! The party we went to had full reign of the indoor amusement rides so we could go on as many as we wanted, as many times as we wanted. The boys went on several rides and I went on the Dodgems with them both several times, and Ben even drove on a couple of occasions! They also did an adults only ride on an old fashioned big roundabout, where they cranked the speed up to maximum. My god it was fast and I was holding on for dear life at times! Ben, and Aaron, didn’t go on the Ghost Train at all as it looked too scary. Even the other children at the party only went on it once as I think a lot of them got scared! Ben, and the rest of us, had a great time though going on the rides (although Kelly couldn’t as she was pregnant! 😉 ).
The other parties were at Drakes Den and at the local Woolwell Centre, with Ben enjoying them both!
