His cake was yummy!
Homemade is always the best! We drove to Bournemouth & had a gr8 few days starting with the discovery of a new ice cream shop!
We had a face time cake blowing ceremony hahahaha!
We had a dip in the sea!
Then Cal wanted to visit the Tank museum for his birthday treat!
He loved it!
We had a laugh but it was soooooooooooooo boring! {Not my cuppa tea anyway!} We played hide and seek! hahaha!
Dressing up was definitely a hit! hahaha! Roll on the summer holiday adventures!
