Lucas is 3! Lakeside Coffee House birthday afternoon tea
Last Thursday, Lucas turned 3, and he was so excited, although he keeps saying his birthday is next week so not sure whether he realises it’s over haha.
We had a normal Thursday, where I worked and he went to nursery for a few hours. After nursery, we asked him where he wanted to go as he finished at 2. He could choose anywhere and chose Heskin Hall, a local farmers’ market and crafts centre. He loves wandering around there and saying hi to the lady in the spiritual reiki room and buying little food figures from the lady that makes handmade silk scarves! As it was his birthday, we let him buy two, which he couldn’t believe. I think he got a burger and fries. He doesn’t do anything with them; he just likes to collect little things so they are safely put into his bag.
We got a hot chocolate in the cafe and had a nosy around the rest of the place.
For tea, we went to my parents and had chicken and chips then the family came round to see Lucas, which he loves, and we had a little birthday get-together for him.
On Saturday, we went to the Lakeside Coffee House at Charnock Farm near Leyland. I met 2 of my friends there from college with their children and we also picked up a friend of Lucas’ on the way. We had their birthday afternoon tea. They ask what theme you want and decorate accordingly. I asked for trains. They made train-decorated cupcakes and decorated the table with train accessories.
The children were asked what sandwiches they wanted and given individual plates of sandwiches, sausage rolls and crisps. They also had a stand of cupcakes and cookies to share afterwards. Z, K, and I had an afternoon tea stand with sandwiches, sausage rolls, crisps, cakes and scones. The scones were delicious with clotted cream and jam!
After we finished, we went for a walk around the pond where the children could have a little run and look at the huge fish. There are also animals you can see, a gift shop, and a garden centre.
Fancy looking back to Lucas’ 1st birthday and 2nd birthday?x
