The kids all had a blast. There is one slide in particular that is quite popular. It is an inflatable about 20 feet tall and the kids like to jump and bounce down it as they come down. How they don't break an arm or something is beyond me. Here you see Sidney coming down, as well as one of her friends, Viola, in mid-air of a bounce.
The kids were all very good during the party (other than one point where they all chanted like a prison riot to have all the lights turned off in the party room). When the person came in to clean up, he actually commented that the kids were all much more polite than most of the parties, as they all said "please" and "thank you" and were pretty well-behaved in general. It was a very nice complement.
As this seems to be the "birthday season", Sidney had been to another little girl's party the day before. In the pictures you can see the temporary tattoo on her forehead, as well as the pink hair that was a result of that party. She didn't want to get rid of them, and it was her birthday party, so, oh well!
After the party, Sidney came home and opened her gifts. It is not customary here to open gifts at the party. We had her do her thank you notes as she opened each gift, so they were all done by the end of the afternoon of the party.
Sidney is back in school this week, and we are on a somewhat normal schedule for a little while. The weather this weekend looks good, so we are going to Flekkefjord (finally!) We also plan to hike up Dalsnuten and take a portable grill and sausages - maybe even watch the sun set over the North Sea before we come down. If I take marshmallows to roast, Sidney will stay. There should also be ripe blueberries to pick (BONUS!)
