Bradley’s 8th birthday party was held at Boot Camp in Paulshof this afternoon.  Thankfully it stopped raining in time for the party, but the rain did manage to make the party uber muddy… which made the obstacle courses much more fun for the kids.  They had a ball, it’s such an awesome venue for boys parties!  They didn’t stop running and jumping and sliding and climbing the whole afternoon, and the “Sergeant” was so fantastic with the kids… and helped the younger ones such a lot!

It wasn’t only the party that was a success, the cupcakes were fabulous!!  It was the first time I’d got cupcakes from The Cupcake Lady instead of having a birthday cake (I’ve bought them for other occasions though)… and they went down a treat… especially the little army men which ended up being the party favours that the kids could take home.

The kids started by doing pushups… which made all the moms and dads giggle.  I just loved Connor’s bum sticking up while he tried

And then the Serge took them to get all muddy   I caught up with them as they were rolling down a mud embankment, and then they had to carry 2 “injured” men across a stream… LOL! The Serge asked Connor to be the one injured man… he couldn’t have asked a heavier child… those poor kids who had to carry him!

While the other kids were flailing around in the mud, the 2 self-proclaimed princesses surprised us all by trying out the cargo nets

When the kids got back for a 10 minute drink break, we saw how filthy they were already

And then it was cake time

Then right at the end of the party, the Sergeant made the parents join in for one final set of push-ups LOL!

It was awesome to hear the kids laughing and screaming all afternoon… it was the sign of a good party.  Thanks to all who joined us
