Thursday 30th October: I am 5!

Guess who loves being 5?

What better way to celebrate your 5th birthday than waking up in Nottingham with your sis and cousin, before a trip to Nottinghamshire's best and strangest theme park?! Here are the highlights of my special day....

Waking up (or not as in daddy's case) in Aunty Heather's bed and opening pressies

After a superstar breakfast of pancakes, we set off to Sundown Adventure park. It had a feel to it a bit like Gulliver's Land, only with less rides, but way more weird and wacky places to explore (and loads of buttons to push everywhere!)...

On what can only be described as....a Christmas ride with Cousin Maia

Down the rapids with Maia and Aunty Heather

Getting trapped in a gigantic shark's jaw

The Wild West at Sundown...

Nadia and Maia take aim

'I Can't Believe It's Not....Gulliver's'

One of the wacky areas at the park - this one all about sweets with loads of wafty smells all over the shop!

More liquorice!

Nadia and Aunty H in the mint/choc room (with smells to match)

We enjoyed the chance to bop

On the runaway train ride

What's up with him? Think he needs more sleep!

The Fairytale land - giant books and houses reflecting each story

Down the yellow brick road with some friends from the Wizard of Oz

Hanging out with the Hump-meister

Things got a bit rude at the echoing wishing well

Nadia and Aunty H on a ride

Robin Hood - famous around these parts apparently

3 Little Pigs

Inside the pigs house they had a piano and things

A disco game in the Angry Birds Land

2 angry birds

If pigs could fly

He should get some clothes on

Messing about - well it's my birthday

Mummy dropped her phone (and we lost Nadia for a bit!)

Not guilty! Did you expect us to smile?!

Exhausted, we went back to Maia's and there was just enough time for left over Olaf cake (and more!)

I had a great day, got some great presents (with still lots more to open at home when I got back to Tring). Thanks for all the lovely birthday wishes....I think 5 is going to be just fine.
