Normandy - France 2011

Over Easter mum and dad packed us all up and whisked us off to Normandy for a holiday. A quick ferry  ride and a few hours in the car and we were there. Dad and Liam enjoyed some quality time on the ferry on the way over....

and when we got there mum headed straight to the seafood markets YUM!!!!!

While we headed straight to the beach - the weather was much better than we had anticipated, so went ended up spending most of our time there :)

 The seafood banquet back at our farmhouse - oh la la!

 Out for a wander in a french village - looking for a spot of lunch with Zoe and Sarah

A Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory Party

"GOOD MORNING STAR SHINE.....THE EARTH SAYS HELLO!"

For my 6th birthday party mum and dad threw me a "Willy Wonka" chocolate party...... and being the star of the show I had to be Willy Wonka!

Zara and Liam got to be the Oompa Loompa's :)

We started off the party decorating and naming our aprons....

Then the chocolate making began!

While we were waiting for the chocolate to set we played a couple of games, a version of the "chocolate game" (goes with out saying really)

An egg and spoon race and our favourite game was the "Augustus Glump" game..... we had to get balloons through the tunnel and fill up "Augustus" at the other end!

And to finish of the games we had musical statues - check out some of the moves ;-)

After building up an appetite we finally got some lunch

 Followed by birthday cake .....

....and then the peice de resistance...... THE CHOCOLATE FONDUE

A brilliant party and so much fun had by all (This is me and my friend Daisy)
