We held Christina's birthday party at the Activity World in Peterborough. It is a MASSIVE indoor play center. We rented out the whole facility and invited not only Christina's class from school but also the American families that live over here. Needless to say we had a full house. It was a lot of fun!
Christina's 5th birthday snuck up on us all. So we were lucky to get a reservation on her actual birthday 
(even though it was during the work week). Activity World is fun for all ages. Even Bryce and Jordan found the free-fall through the elastic mesh fun (but abrasive). The vertical drop slide is also a bit extreme, but even Christina braved the slide a few times!
The British cake mixes just don't measure up to the American mixes and store-bought cakes are dry with cement hard icing. So Jeanne decided to do a birthday brownie "cake". It was a big hit with everyone. As is the custom over here, the presents are not opened until the child goes home. Also they sing happy birthday but are expected to eat their cake from a napkin after they leave the party. The brownies were a little bit easier to eat from a napkin too.
Happy 5th Birthday Christina!
