Luau for Bella's 6th Birthday

birthday cake, surrounded by the giant sunflowers...

Bella was 6 in August. Being born in August has its downsides, always the youngest in the year, and all your friends away on holidays when it's your birthday. The good news is it's normally great weather (at least it is in Switzerland), and you get to have two birthday parties, one in August and one when you go back to school. The first one was Hawaii themed. We had tracked down the only kids grass skirt in Geneva, and ordered some party gear from the UK for a 5th of the price. I managed to bring some birthday cakes back from the UK in my hand luggage. The Swiss franc is so strong just now, it makes everywhere esle seem soooooo cheap.

We had some sack races, just to get the competitive spirits going. The men's race was a photo finish, with Aled sustaining a key in the thigh injury as he dived over the line. The ladies was easily won by Becky. And the kids race...well everone's a winner, apart from those who left the race crying. Oh well, life's tough some times.

Managed to squeeze rather a lot of people on to our smaller deck for a BBQ.
