Happy 13th Birthday Rachel!

This time we had three added girls, Chloe, Roxanne and Amy, so not everyone fitted in the bed...

Rachel wanted a desk that opened up for her birthday so she was super excited when she actually got one!  And there were more prezzies inside the desk. 

For her dinner she invited two of her friends over, so they got their own table, it was a lovely evening with a very happy 13 year old. 

Zeek the star athlete

Zeek was awarded 5 medals from the school's athletics competition.
Gold for discus
two Silver for 200m and 400m
and  two Bronze for javlin and 800m
He gave one of his Silver medals to his friend who participated but didn't get any medals, so I think he should have gotten another gold for kindness!

Rachel the star of the show

Rachel was cast as Baby Face in the school's rendition of Bugsy Malone.  She was also cast as 5 other characters!  She had a ball and was really good.  It was so lovely watching her shine on stage, she is a good little actress!

She needed her hair to look short (as she was playing the part of a boy) and she also needed a moustache, so here is the finished product of Baby Face Bowen:

Picnic at the Castle

Pete took the kids to Carisbrooke castle for a picnic, and Cheryn took her camera along.  It was a lovely sunny day and the food was good.  Thanks Pete, they had a good time!
