We also had a croquet stand, but no picture of it.
On Tim's 9 years birthday we had build a tivoli in our garden. We had ten different amusements to try. While the boys were eating they got an empty bag and then they had to win their candy. The amount of candy equalled to their efforts, but some are good at something and others are good at other things, so they all went home with almost the same amount of candy.

It takes some work to build a tivoli, in fact a weekend. It took me a day to paint signs and we spend a day together raising tents and amusements. |

"Breaking up the Happy Home" was a great success! We had got lots of free china at the local recycle shop. When the parents came to fetch their boys, they also had to try. |

The strong man test. The box weighed 45 kilos! Several of the boys were able to lift it. Besides Sebastian at the photo - Simon, Rasmus S., Jonas, Christian C. and Rasmus R. also could lift it. |
