We have lift-off

Foot still firmly planted on the air-pressure launching pad, William watches his rocket soar skywards at his 5th birthday party in Tuggeranong Town Park today. While Ground Control Mummy judges the altitude achieved (prizes are at stake!), Will's young guests await their turn. To the left, little Cousin Lucy looks on hero-worshipfully, but Callum, on the right, doesn't seem to have realised that the rocket has departed the launch ramp. The Rocket Party, with its other rocket-related games and activities - including an impressive rocket piñata - was a huge success. You must trust me that the large rocket-shaped cake, cleverly iced, looked and tasted very good indeed.
