Anyway, I think they all had a great time. I made tropical themed food - sliders, tropical pizzas, tropical fruit platter, tropical punch, tropical lollies, tropical cupcakes .... you get the idea! We had a blow up pool full of soft drinks, a hula skirt for the table, and other tropical table decorations, themed serviettes and cups.
When each child arrived Jasmin gave them a Leui and a beach bucket to put their goodies in.
I took a photo of each child in our tropical themed cut-outs, and we played some tropical themed games. They each got a prize from each game including a blow up mini beach ball, yo-yo and fluro bubbles... all to put in their beach pails to take home with them.

Beach Ball run - they had to run races with beach balls between their knees:
There was a round of hula freeze:
Jasmin wanted an ice-cream cake for her birthday cake - she picked the biggest beach pail that we had - and Dave helped fill it with ice-cream with clinkas mixed through it. I sprinkled toasted coconut on the cake for beach sand, and we put chocolate shells around the bottom.
I also managed to get a photograph of all the kids at the end before they put lollie bags into their beach buckets and left. I then sat down with Ness and Ona for a much needed glass of wine!!!
I also got a present on Jasmin's birthday - a nice dress from Dave, to celebrate 25 years of togetherness. Would you believe we started going out on the 23rd October 1986 - who knew that we would have Jasmin exactly 16 years later! He is so sweet, it didn't even cross my mind that it was a special anniversary of sorts!
Doing it all agin next weekend for Halloween!
