Aaron's Blog

Aaron has his birthday party the weekend after his birthday this year (due to camping at Woodlands) and he had it at the Forest School at Saltram House. He had been to a couple of these before for other parties and had enjoyed them so he wanted to try this out this year, and it was great! The party lasted over 2 hours and Aaron and his friends (inc help from Mummy and Daddy) had to build a den out of branches and make sure they were water proof as at the end, water was thrown over them with all the children inside! (None ended up being fully waterproof!) Aaron also made a hedgehog out of mud and big fir cones, which was good fun, and they also had hot dogs and hot chocoatel They also all went on a forage around the wooded area to see what they could find. Everything was really good and went well, apart from Coby getting badly stung on his hand as he grasped some stinging nettles thinking they were tree branches. He was crying his eyes out! 

Aaron had a great birthday party and got lots of nice presents from his friends that were invited. It was definitely a good idea to do this seeing as he is a Beaver and knows all about the outdoors now! The lady that ran the session also commented on how Aaron and the boys were very comfortably in the wood (as most of the boys go to Beavers as well). All in all, it was a little expensive but was excellent!
