Facebook Contest - Near Water

We spent Saturday morning at Arrow Valley walking the dog.

We use to go a lot but seemed to have forgotten about it lately. It's a lovely place for walking the dog and I needed to try and get some photos for next weeks facebook photo contest 'near the water'. I like the first shot but think I'll try and get a few more shots over this week to see if I can improve it.

10th Birthday Party

William hit double digits on Saturday! We struggled to come up with a party that could accommodate his ever growing list of friends at a reasonable price and suitable to stimulate his age group.

Eventually, by complete luck, we found http://redditchpremiersbmxclub.blogspot.com/. A BMX race track just down the road from us. They didn't host organised parties, but for £3.50 per person the kids could use the pro racetrack all day. That with the promise of McDonalds take away seem to please Williams ever growing demands!

The weather started badly and we were nervous that such a casual arrangement might not work but I can now happily say this was a massive success! It was hard to drag the kids away at the end with comments of 'Best party ever!'. The staff were fantastic and I would recommend this place to anybody that has hyper boys or girls to wear out! William now wants to join the racing club and start training on Saturday mornings.
