As Morgan’s birthday fell on a school day this year, we had his party at the weekend. He had decided he wanted to do laser tag in the woods so we were all booked up for 2pm on Saturday. Everything was planned and Morgan and 10 friends would meet in the woods ready to run around shooting each other with laser guns!<\/p>\n

\"Off<\/a>

Off into the woods<\/p><\/div>\n

When we got home from the Eisteddfod<\/a> late on Friday evening though\u00a0there was an answer-phone message from Shoreline saying that they had decided to move the venue from their usual location in the hills above Penrhyncoch to Pwll Crwn woods. Luckily Anna and I know these woods well as we often take the Scouts den-building there, but it did mean that we had to frantically phone, email and message all of Morgan’s friends so that they knew about the new arrangements. By Saturday morning though we had confirmation from them all that they had our messages so everyone would be coming to the correct location.<\/p>\n

Morgan had invited two of his cousins, Charlie and Jack, up for the party as well, so my brother Jay was arriving with them. Saturday morning was a little hectic therefore, first with a hard 90 minutes on the turbo trainer for me and then various chores and cleaning to get the house ready for them to stay over for the night and lots of preparations for the party. The tarmac men arrived whilst we were doing this as well, they\u00a0didn’t start laying tarmac though, just paced around a bit, presumably checking that everything was ready to go for them.<\/p>\n

Jay, Charlie and Jack arrived on time and after a few hello’s and some final packing we were off to Pwll Crwn woods where we met the man from Shoreline.<\/p>\n

Laser tag Party<\/h2>\n

We had a little chat with him whilst we waited (we were of course early) and his son headed off with the boys to let them have a little practise with the guns. It wasn’t long before everyone was there though and we all went deeper into the woods where we found the laser tag guns ready to go. after a very quick briefing, three teams of four were formed. ‘The Volts’, ‘The Bobbies’ and the Funky Monkeys’. The girls (Funky Monkeys) \u00a0wanted to stick together though and as there was only 3 girls and 8 boys they needed an extra team member and decided that they wanted to be ‘girl power’ all the way so chose Anna to join them.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
