Circus Party

There was a fair amount of organising during the morning to be ready for Ella's afternoon party. Unfortunately the weather was not at all amenable to use the slackfline or silk in the front garden on arrival. As the rain fell steadily, all of the activities needed to be conducted inside the house or inside the garage.

Unbeknownst to Ella, Andy and I decided to get into the Circus mood...

Each activity, accrued points for each circus performer and at the end of the night scores were tallied and prizes could be selected.

First activity was Balloon Pop - performers used a dart to pop a balloon and collect the points behind. It worked really well!

  

Next was voting for best costume with 

Lolly Jar guess had performers counting lollies in one of three mason jars with the closest winning the loot!

Then it was time for the Ping Pong Toss where performers earn points based on which cup their ball randomly landed in.

 

As darkness descended, it was a good time to play Ring Toss using glow sticks. A knock out competition took place.

  

A carnival dinner was planned next. It was good to have the girls calm down for a moment while they ate!!

Chocolate Coin Game was played - with performers tossing a coin hoping to land it onto either block of chocolate to earn points and their choice of a mini chocolate bar! A popular game.

A little bit of free time mucking around with the Intsagram frame!!

 

 

Cake time!!

 

Post birthday cake, scores were revealed, prizes chosen and then Circus party had come to an end. Hoping all the performers had a memorable time, I know Ella did. Katy by this time had warmed up...possibly a little too late!!
