FIVE!

Today, our baby boy turned 5. FIVE!
Goodness me, where has the time gone. Now we have a big boy, with a big heart, at a big school, doing big things! To celebrate his special day, we treated Louie and some of his best friends to a day at Twin Lakes, a local little theme park.

We visited last year on his birthday and had such a wonderful time, however he was the only little one with all of us adults. So we thought it would be EVEN BETTER with a group of his little maties.

So off we went, Rudy, Pearl, Kyran and Louie - the little clan of besties. They had such an amazing time riding the rollercoasters and chasing around in the indoor play areas. Though us Mums and Dads had just as much fun playing in the soft plays, the death slides were a hoot!

What is a party without party food? Nana and I put on a spread for everyone, including a chocolate Malteaser birthday cake.

The sun went down on such a beautiful day, with beautiful people celebrating our beautiful boy.

We all took the day off for Mr Bee's birthday so that we could do something fun, we visited Twinlakes, a theme park designed for littles which isn't so far from us. We hadn't been before and we kept it a complete surprise from the bee. What a fantastic day we had!
Louie was absolutely in his element, all day. The rides were just perfect, and even though the weather held out all day, the inside attractions were so much fun. The indoor soft play kept us ALL entertained for hours.
The dungeon, a maze which is completely pitch black was utterly hilarious. Louie was so brave the whole way through, I think I screamed more than anyone (no surprise there then...).

We finished our day with a meal at one of our favourite places, the 50s Diner in an airstream trailer in Swadlincote.

A fantastic day for a fantastic four year old!
