And the story goes....
It started at 3pm with swimming
then a game of man hunt
followed by more swimming
pizza and make your own sundaes
Glow in the dark ring toss
(please note it is not dark because it is the longest day of the year,
and all of the fun glow in the dark games had not yet started by 9pm!)
Owen's birthday cake!
Finally dark and time for sparklers, glow in the dark bracelets,
glow in the dark hunt with flash lights, campfire and marshmallows!
Your thinking to yourself, parents must be picking their kids up by now, but no... I came up with the brilliant idea of having 13 kids sleepover!
At 10pm, Tony and I looked at each other and said... only 12 hours to go!
I was a little worried about bedtime, but it worked out much easier than anticipated. I brought them all in at 10pm. I asked them to put on their pjs, set out their sleeping bag, use their technology or watch The Lego movie and lights would be out shortly after that.
Two were asleep before the movie ended, one had gone home sick and the rest went right to sleep as soon as the lights were turned off at 11:45pm.
The boys all slept until 7am....
ate birthday pancakes, took another swim, packed up
and it was time to go home!
First sleepover birthday party success!
I know one very happy boy!
Happy Birthday Owen!
