And a wonderful day it was....
The sun rose, greeting the pandemonium in the Whalley house as presents were opened and SKYPE calls made all over the world. With webcam on, many shared the first few hours of Savannah and Kyle's day. Mother Hen clucked over the two little gollums before the hike down to Blackman Pack where the party was to be held. (Okay, it was a mere 200 meters from our back door....)
Tables were set up, balloons were blown, hide and seek items were hidden and Pat (Uncle Pat) was posted as the security guard, before everyone arrived.
And the throngs arrived. Gollee, there sure were a lot of people....
Ren quickly took command. The general in her stormed the bank and stunned the toddlers into submission with the first game. This was closely followed by the Oscar award winning (according to the Mom's and Dad's) Pantomime conducted by Ren and Pete (Directed by Ren) and supporting actors Pat, Mike and Clinton. Gee whiz. If you could have seen the kids faces...
Oh, did I mention that we finished off with cake - a most marvellous ice cream cake with a barbie AND a chocolate cake. Oh ye kids of great spoiling.... Mom made them both. (The cakes and the two Whalley children.) What is she LIKE????
The day ended at 9.00 p.m. Okay, not for everyone, but festivities continued back home
Another day. Another birthday. Older children. I hope it's not happening all too quickly....

I read your blog. And I thought it was wonderful party with fine weather. We were really disappointed that we couldn't go there.
