Wow She is now 6. She had a lovely birthday party and I hope all of her friends enjoyed it. It was held at the Raptor foundation near us. The Party started off at11 :30 with a tour of the Birds they have, I was very surprised how well the children listened there was 14 Children aged from 3 - 13 and they all walked around nicely and listened to what the Lady had to say, She told them about the owls they had and which ones were in the Harry potter movies and where you could spot them(Did you know Hedwig changed sex 5 times in one film!) Then we had a look at the eagles and other birds of pray.
We then all sat on the benches to see a flying display.
This picture does the scenery no justice. To the left the land drops and you can see for miles all the fields of the surrounding area.
This was good they had owls fly over there heads literally My brother in law had his ear clipped by a wing, and watched as the 'trainers' flew the birds from one place to another. Again I was surprised at how well they sat and listened, well they did for the half hour. then they started to get a bit restless but then so did us adults. the last thing they did was let all the children hold and owl on their arm. It was only a tiny one but Charlotte said it was still heavy. They had to wear a little glove it as so cute.
(Will put on video clip when work out how! All the others have been from my camera.)
They then all sat down for food that was a nice quiet affair. The food was good and the plates were full so the kids enjoyed them. Followed of course by Ice cream and birthday cake.
Once the Party was over we were free to roam the place our self. There was a small play area which the kids took full advantage of an there was a big pond a bridge over it where you could feed the fish. The children had started to go home in dribs and drabs since the food had finished so by the time we got to the fish there was about 5 kids left so we all gathered round to feed the fish, they went mad they were thrashing around to get it. there big mouths opening. this made the children laugh. I think we finally got home about 4:30 so it was in all a good day.

Happy Birthday Charlotte.
Don't they grow fast?!
Yes they do... It was different, a friends from Marks work recomended it I never thought of looking here for a party, kids loved it I was very suprised because they had to listen then sit still and at the end there was no bouncy castle or games. With out being big headed I hope not many parents try and out do it or we will be going to partys at Disney land by the end of the year lol
