Ben is 5!
To celebrate, he had a very special birthday party last week, with 7 little friends and his brother and sister.The party theme: "Fire Fighters".
The venue: Ben's Fire Station
The decorations:
The special surprise that we had organised in advance for Ben's party was a visit from the "Airport Fire and Rescue" truck! Ben was delighted as we all rushed round to the MAF hangar to see his party visitors:
The fire services staff were most kind and helpful and let the children climb on board...
...and visit the roof to see all the ladders and fire equipment.
Even Joel was excited, despite the roaring noise of the powerful engine and the very high steps to get into the cab. He posed happily with his personal "Fire Fighter Joel" badge!
Back at the house, we had time for a few fire-fighter themed games, time for toasting marshmallows on sticks on a BBQ in the garden and then Dad stoked up the BBQ to make some impressive flames. Ben-Birthday-Boy then extinguished the fire with our garden hose!
There was also time for a party tea, of course, and a fire-themed cake!
