heyyyyyyy joseph is five!

today we celebrated joseph's fifth birthday with a loosely themed (it was more just rainbow everything than anything else haha) hey duggee birthday party at the local water park. 

it was a great day for it, nice and hot, with great company!

aunty jenny made our cake as usual and presented us with this gorgeous rainbow, drippy, lollipopped number. joseph loved it and it tasted amazing, 

it even had bubble gum flavoured icing!

see, so chuffed! isn't he the cutest? ♥

we could not have chosen a better day for it either, there was a food truck evening being held in the water park playground beginning later that afternoon and going on through the evening and the local lions club had their community train there.

mum paid for all the kids to go on and have a ride around the park area and it was a hit. we were so thrilled, couldn't have been better if we'd planned it,

the train was even rainbow

and he was the happiest little boy in ellenbrook!

we'd brought along our own gazebo, thinking that we would never get the area we wanted, but as we arrived to the park, there was barely anyone there, and the actually party area near the barbeques was empty. i could not believe my luck!

joseph's favourite gift of the day was this epic water gun from our friends hayden and julia. hayden only has girls, so it's like he makes up for it buying the most over the top boys toys he can for our joseph. it's hilarious. it was filled and being blasted around the place within minutes and wasn't put down the whole afternoon!

hanging out with my love. we made a pretty cool kid!

grandma was on alex duty as usual and he was passed about and kept happy for the afternoon. everyone seemed to have a good time, even "grumpy old poppy"

i made the party favours by simply getting a 24 pack of rainbow lollipops from our local big w and printing a cute "thanks" label featuring hey duggee using the canva app. they were cute as! 

it was an excellent day... and if i may, if you haven't seen the show "hey duggee" yet, then you seriously need to check it out. it is hilarious and well worth the watch. you can watch it here.

duggee hug!
