Noah's Party

What a lovely day we have had today! Our friend Noah had his 3rd birthday in his grandad's woods and i think it was the best party i have ever been to. "Right up my street" as Ian said.

Once we had found the privatly owned woods we were met by Anna (noah's mum) in a truck to take us up to the site in the back of it! In the back of a truck - how cool - Emily and the other children loved it - deliberatly banging their heads as we bumped along!

We were then free to explore! They had made a tightrope between two trees to climb across...

Emily loved this! especially as it bounces up and down! Lucy loved it too!

There was a campsite with a bell tent and wood burner! A hand made bench for us all to sit on. And of course a campfire

There was a great swing from one of the trees. A tyre but made in a way i had never seen. Very high as some of the adults tried!

There was some delicious home made food for the children and the adults and a gorgeous owl cake!

Happy birthday Noah!!!

After lunch we all sat around the campfire to sing songs with Anna's dad playing the guitar. The children had cut up logs to bash together along with the beat.

Then all of the children were given a gorgeous wooden guitar!! Hand made by Anna's dad! they are great and Emily loves hers! so does Noah! We had a treasure hunt in the woods, followed a compass and found the treasure buried in the ground. Beautifuly sewn canvas bags with a wood pencil and note pad!

All in All a very memorable simple day that must have taken ages to organise but we loved it!

Happy birthday Noah!!!
