Half Term Holidays – Friday

The day got off to a very lazy start with the 3 parents lounging in bed with cups of tea discussing what activities we were going to do today. Before long it was decided that swimming and more fresh air was the order of the day.

After breakfast we headed off to the swimming baths â?? these were no ordinary swimming baths as it had a wave machine and a slide that even Emilie was allowed to go down on her own â?? which she absolutely loved â?? infact we think she went on the slide most.

We loved jumping over the waves when the wave machine was on and we generally enjoyed being water babies for the morning. When we all got wrinkly fingers and toes we decided it was time to go home for some lunch.

Josh was very tired after swimming and nearly fell asleep whilst eating his lunch so he went off and had a little sleep, whilst Mummy (Alli) and Janet washed the dishes, the older boys played Rugby and Emilie did more drawing Daddy (Tim) went to check on Josh and didnâ??t appear back for over an hour â?? you guessed it he had gone upstairs and laid down on the bed next to Josh and fallen asleep!

Whilst we were waiting for the sleepy heads the girls decided that we would play with the dolls (babies) getting them dressed, feeding them and taking them out for walks â?? before long we were joined by both Daniel and Joe who practiced their Fathering skills. Daniel managed to put a baby vest on one of the dolls upside which caused a bit of a problem when the poppers that should have been at the bottom were infact around the dolls head!

We have photographic evidence of Josh and Tim having an afternoon snooze and Daniel and Joe playing with dolls!

Then it was time for our next adventure â?? a trip to the local park before heading off to Pizza Express in Worcester for dinner. We exerted some more energy in the park and Mummy (Alli), Daddy (Tim) and Janet also joined us in having fun as there was a wooden adventure trail in the park that they were trying to race each other round. There was lots of laughing and lots of screams from Mummy (Alli) as she kept thinking she was going to fall off things especially when Daddy (Tim) was trying to make the balance bars wobble!

After 30 minutes we headed off to Worcester and dinner at Pizza Express – we all love Pizza Express and we had lots of lovely food including the obligatory dough balls and garlic butter!

Once we had devoured our dinner we headed back to the car and on our way back we noticed that there were some big water fountains that just came up out of the pavement – we all said that we thought it would be great fun to run through these fountains – so we did! We had an excellent time and we were all soaking wet by the time we had finished – Daniel and Joe were so wet that they had to strip off to their underwear before Janet would let them sit in her car!

ONce we got back home it was time for baths and bedtime dvd’s again – we were exhausted once again!
