Nicholas turns 7..

Well, how did that happen??  Nicholas is 7!?!?!?!!!!

Lego is currently "the in thing" right now with both boys and Nicholas had asked for the Lego train :)

Nicholas' family birthday treat was go-karting a double surprise for Nicholas as I hadn't told him that Lakside karting have just built a bambino track which I'd booked him in for his first 2 lessons on...

He had 1:1 instruction with a great guy who was teaching him all about controlling the pedals, stopping and the racing line of the track..

Nicholas LOVED it!

Not to miss out, both Lee and Alexander went out on the main track on a family session..

 

I'd mentioned when booking that it was Nicholas' birthday, so he was allowed to wave the chequed flag for the Family session !

 Not to be out done by the boys, Cassandra also got to have a go - first with me, and then when she got her confidence, all on her own!

All the kids had a great morning :)  Then it was off to McDonalds for lunch, Lee then took the boys bowling whilst I took Cassandra to one of her little friend's birthday parties, and then home for an extended family tea party.

As Nicholas' birthday was on a Sunday, the following Saturday he had a few friends to play laser at Rayleigh Mega Play.

Simon, who is Reuben's Dad (one of his football buds') also stayed and went in with Lee to play against, sorry, with the boys whilst Cassandra and I went into the soft play area.

Food was included and Nicholas enjoyed his "slab cake" too.

To make his belated friends birthday celebrations special, I'd agreed to a sleepover for Jack Duce, Jack McCardle, Freddie Knight and Sam Henderson.... Hyper and bouncing off the walls wasn't in it, but I'll go with they all had a great time munching on popcorn, eating chocolate and watching Avengers, although I don't think they got much sleep!
