Aryan's 8th Birthday Party - Sublime Science - Shibden Park

Aryan is now 8.  I have photographed most of his birthday parties since he was 3 years old and was pleased to be asked to photograph his 8th at Shibden Park Cafe.  Even though Aryan birthday was earlier in the month and had to be postponed because of the bad weather, a different venue was chosen, but all his friends were there.  A lot of these children have been friends for a long time, so it was nice seeing them again and how they had grown, though I doubt that they remembered me.  Obviously, a lot more nosier and boisterous than previous parties, which had included go-karting, baby-ballet and play gym's.  More grown up was this party with a scientist from Sublime Science (guy training to be a school teacher - therefore had patience of a saint), there was all sorts of experiments with audience participation.  There was noise, air, water experiments, Static Ball, smoke bubbles and gunge,  it was actually great fun.  Making their own sherbet was great, as the sourer the concoction the more sour faces.  Later on rockets were launched outside, followed by sandwiches and cakes.  Aryan had a great time and his now contemplating what he can do for his 9th birthday.
