Bowling Birthday Party

We celeberated the girl's birthday with a bowling party. It was a good thing too as it was another Adelaide scorcher but it was quite cool and nice inside the air-conditioned bowling centre. The wife and kids actually prepared for this party a while back. Over the past week they've busied themselves filling up the party bags and baking and decorating cupcakes. Cupcakes are a good idea as we don't have to do any cake slicing and serving up, the kids just had to help themselves.

We arrived early at the bowling center but it didn't take too long for her friends to arrive. The girl so good at taking care of her guests, welcoming them and showing them to the party table. The kids had some snacks first before they went bowling. Some of the parents even had a go at bowling as well when they saw how much fun the kids were having.

In the end, the girl had fun and what touched us most was as we were having post-party smoothies, totally unprompted at all, she said, "Thanks Mom and Dad for the great party!". She's so appreciative and that makes up for all the little stresses of party planning...
