Did you know the Queen of England turned 90 this past weekend? The British Club celebrated with all things English over the two days to pay tribute to Her Majesty and young Prince George.
Pimms was the drink of the day — it tastes like fruity lemonade. Camille liked eating the apple and orange pieces out of it after I was finished.
They had games and activities for the kids — like this mechanical bull. Not British, yet fun.
Except for the part where the bull is covered in burlap and the boys have been suffering with road rash on their legs all week. God forbid they let go when they start to fall off!
In America you’d probably have an adult supervising this waterslide. With no liability issues to worry about, kids were taking the ladder Lord of the Flies style. Every now and then someone would come by and refill the bottom splash zone. Camille decided quickly that this was not her scene. Too much chaos and screaming.
I don’t know what coconuts have to do with England — as Josh said, maybe celebrating British Imperialism? But they had a carnival type game where you could throw weighted balls at coconuts mounted on posts and if you knocked one off, you could keep it.
That $1.25 provided an afternoon’s worth of entertainment and snacks.
Carter dared to get inside the plastic ball
which they inflated
and then he “ran” around the pool like a hamster in a wheel.
Two days of fun and food: bangers and mash, steak pie, and scones with jam and clotted cream. So happy we could have a spot of tea in honor of the monarchy.
