Spider-Man party

Aidan is our grandson and today was his seventh birthday party. We travelled up to York to spend part of the day with Aidan and the family and to be at the party. As always, we had a lot of fun.

Debbie and Steve had themed the birthday as a Spider-Man event. There was an awesome (or perhaps I'd better say 'an epic') climbing wall especially designed for junior age kids so Aidan and his friends had a lot of fun acting like Spider-Man!

It wasn't just a matter of random climbing and scrambling, the team who brought the climbing wall had organised a range of clever games and competitions to test the the young 'spider-men' against one another. Huge fun!

The picture shows a detail from the amazing birthday cake Debbie had made, Spider-Man sitting on the top of a high building.

The rest of the party involved Spider-Man cup cakes and much, much more.

Just to add to the fun I had wrapped Aidan's birthday present in multiple layers of plain and birthday paper, plastic bags, and more. Unwrapping it made him laugh, but he was very appreciative when he got to the middle of the package and eventually found his present.

We had to leave a little early as we had an engagement back in St Neots in the evening. But we saw the end of the party and helped with the initial stages of clearing up.

It was an awesome... er, epic ...day.

PS - The climbing wall was provided by an excellent local business, PE Plus+, highly recommended.
