Nerf Party-Happy 11th birthday

Our George's turned 11. Thank God.Some of his buddies are in Manchester which he often gather on his birthday.Some of them also share birthday same month. But we had a pre birthday with some other close allies, celebrating birthday next week as well. 

I love keeping a theme for birthdays. Though there isn't much friends around as we are aliens here. Thought to keep nerf party with some nerf guns, bullets and boards, hideouts prepared.  Cake decorated as well because the cake will be the centerpiece of the party and fuel all the energy for an epic Nerf war or battle. We went uphill and had some fun in our Leyhill, then came home and had some barbecues at home. When it comes to throwing an epic Nerf birthday party, one of the most important things to consider is location. If have a large backyard, then this is the perfect place to host a Nerf battle! Set up a series of obstacles and boundaries and let your kids engage in a thrilling Nerf war.Or else in outdoor space could do, thats what we did ON TOP OF Leyhill. It didnt come out as I hoped for . There was another nerf birthday organised by our friends, it was soo fantastic.To make the battle even more exciting, you could set up two teams and award points to each team member who reaches the other team's side.I want to the do another nerf one later again in a proper form.

Some of the cards he got and gifted with remote airplane from Mich, Annus  a book, volley ball gift  and mine a watch and so on.

He missed his some of his buddies but was a good day with Thomas family.

The collection is housed in two large hangars. The first with historical planes and the second focuses on the Cold War. It’s very well organised and signed with excellent information boards along the way.. So many planes and artefacts and stories connected to those who flew so that there is something to interest everyone. It was our first visit which was just so much interesting as there’s just so much to see. It was fantastic to be able to walk underneath the Vulcan as only then can you appreciate its size. Great car park, good and plentiful toilet facilities and a small cafe in the second hangar so we could get a coffee and a snack.We got some sweets and some gifts from the shop. We stayed there for nearly 3 hours.

to revisit and we are planning again.

Spring to Summer in UK

Families gathered together on pentecost in Northfield. Had barbecue, cut birthday cake and lovely time meeting some families.

These days are of heat wave in UK. Really enjoyed the days though Vit was hot- went to Lickey Hill and was so nice and cool under the canopy of trees in the woods. Kids all have lots of fun climbing uphill and down hill. I thought it easy not at all. We had some picnic and play time.
