Summer birthdays, Carillon


... that have Dads out in public parks at dawn with a shovel, lugging water melons, digging holes and scattering white powder markers - really no alarm bells for witnessing joggers?

The scavenger hunt was fabulously hot and ranged across the whole park with melting gold coins aplenty, water stops and the eventual triumphant dig. Then the home-made goblin piñata, a big stick and blind folds - so brutal and fun with no candy but skipping ropes and whistles instead.

Refuelling with Italian chocolate cake and retrieved melons (!) before more playground time and a little performance on the open stage. The perfect summer birthday.
