My 3rd Birthday Party

Posted on June 25, 2006May 27, 2010 by Charlotte

Phew! I was asleep by 7pm tonight and shattered all afternoon. I’d spent the morning partying at Te Papa (the museum) and had an awesome time. The day started at ‘Story Place’ where my friends and I listened to a rather scary story about dinosaurs and then had a play, did some face painting and dinosaur artwork. By mid-morning we had worked up quite an appetite and went down to the cafe for a Birthday morning tea. I couldn’t wait for pass the parcel and afterwards it was cake time, mmmmmm!

Mummy and Daddy had arranged an explosive volcano cake, which totally blew me away! After all that chocolate and lava I really needed to have a run around… so we went outside to chase bubbles. Wow! What fun!
