Superheroes Social Night

Okay so I confess I suggested this theme after seeing how well it went at our Mission Weekend last year. And our Superheroes Family Social Night at the Corps was awesome - improved on the Mission Weekend because I had a much cooler costume!! (Last year I was the daughter from the Incredibles - can't remember her name! This year, I was BATGIRL.)

There were some incredible costumes, and much more of a range. We had your typical Batmans, Supermans and Spidermans ... also Catwoman, Elastigirl, WonderWoman, PowerPuff Girls, MysteryMan and Zorro (who was mistaken by several kids as Puss n Boots! Oh the power of Shrek!!

It was a fab night. We shared in a fish n chip tea before doing some songs (from both Mainly Music and Kidsclub, since both groups were represented) and games. My favourite game has to be the adapted 'duck, duck, goose' - which became 'undies, undies, togs'. What a brilliant idea.

But one of my favourite moments was, while dressed as Batgirl, I pretended to be Spiderman and used that silly string (from in a can) to make spiderwebs. I love that stuff, though it's not as much fun to clean up, particularly from the basketball net, as it was to put it up.

However, great night, great company, great fun. And with that it was over as quick as it had begun.
