Day 29. 

In the evening, we had a little birthday dinner for my Dad and I with all the family (except my sister since she's away) and my auntie had got us this lovely cake (with bunting - yes!) 
My cousin was given creative license on how to do the candles on the cake so he chose to add together my age and my dad's age which is 73 and put that many candles on the cake, plus a 0 for a joke! 

It was such a great evening sitting out in the garden (because it is now warm enough!) chatting, eating wax covered cake (we had to pay a price for that many candles) and playing the board game version of 'Would I lie to you' which caused much hysteria!

#27 of the 30 Day Snap | Birthday time!

Day 27.

The 27th was actually my 19th birthday! (Which feels weird writing that - I liked 18) 

The picture above is of my best friend of 8 years and I in hysterics about something or other, we were beside ourselves, the best kind of laughter where no matter how hard you try, you just can't stop! Note the union jack bunting behind us (she brought it and managed to tie it between two deckchairs cause she knows how much I love my country) and how windy it was! We could have flown away! 

The evening was spent kayaking on a lake with the guides (I'm a leader) and I love outdoorsy things so this was brilliant! Even though it rained, we still managed to have a great time and everyone sang to me while miming 'heads, shoulders, knees and toes' and standing up in their kayaks! It was definitely the most unique way that 'Happy Birthday' has ever been sung to me! I only fell in once by capsize and we ended the evening with a rope swing into the lake which was great fun! Loved it! In this picture, I'm the one who is 2nd in at the top left lying on the front of the red kayak! (It was for a game, we were meant to kiss the noses of our kayaks like the Eskimos who invented them!)

How do you celebrate birthdays?
