We thought it would be a good idea to 'throw' a back-to-school party the day before Term 3 starts tomorrow. What started out as a party for 24 of Joshua's class extended to his rugby team, other friends from other classes, and all their brothers and sisters ..... so we had a total of 67 children at today's party - madness ruled !We took a private hire for 2 hours of the Recreation Centre & Tiny Town and let the children 'loose'. They had a ball - dividing their time between riding their bikes, scooters and skate-boards to playing hockey and 'shooting' basketball hoops to climbing all over the inflatable. They came up for air after about an hour and 67 rather hot little people sat down for some sugar disguised in fizzy drinks and party food only to then go back out there for another hour.
It was a fabulous success. We were surprised to have so many parents stay as well and I think the adults enjoyed it as much as the children - and it was especially lovely to see how many Dads got out there and played the games with the kiddies - and it gave the Mums a chance to have a coffee and mingle.
I think there will be 67 rather tired little ones this evening and the party was a great way to 'break the ice' and re-acquaint everyone before school starts again tomorrow. Sadly, for us all, school holidays are over.
