Robin's 11th Birthday 2017

We decided to have a LAN party and try to let the kids play together in the same Minecraft world. Additionally, weather permitting, we would spend some time on the playground with the soccer ball which was one of Robin's presents, and the drones which were the group present from all parents. It worked out very nicely, not least because Hendrik, Max and Ivailo could bring their laptops for minecraft and Roblox, and most kids brought a mobile device for other games. Thanks to all parents for these contributions and the presents! I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as Robin and us enjoyed the event.

The Morning

In the morning Robin found Pizza Pie Michelle had made for Robin ...	... Oh wait! It was a Pizza Pi! Plus finds Michelle had brought from the Baltic Sea, including a heart-shaped stone.	Cupcakes to bring to school
Robin is obviously very happy about the many T-shirts.

The Afternoon

In front of the school the kids started to climb and remain on the advertising column ...	.. and they managed to form a ring around it, holding on to each other.	A short video clip of the result.
At home I had set up the computers in the living room, and the kids gave them a try ...	... before a fishsticks-and-blueberry lunch.

Evening And Night

Michelle's fabulous steak and burrito dinner was but an interruption.

Gaming was interrupted by a short night sleep.

The Next Morning

At 9 a.m. I had just woken up, but the kids had been up since 6 or so.	To the left you can see our two inmates.	The kids were eventually thrown out of the living room because we were setting the table for the brunch. They watched videos on their mobiles or played Clash Royal.
