Linus Mitchell

The bigger noisy one.

Cowboy

A party for all his friends because he is going to a new school.

Linus is moving to a new school (more on that in another post) - this means that he's going to make some new friends (work in progress on that already) but he's also having to say goodbye to his class at his old school. We thought a party would be a good idea and Claire really wanted a 'Wild West' themed one (having seen someone do a lovely one like this online somewhere).

So this last weekend we had the hall in Handcross booked and and about half his class came along for a bit of a party.

We had games, craft, panning for gold, a bouncy castle and plenty of food and drinks. Hats and badges were mandatory.

Grandpa contributed some games, including this coconut shy...

Throughout the whole afternoon Linus was with his current best friend George, but everyone seemed to have a lovely time.
