Half Term Holidays – Monday

Mummy, Daniel & Emilie travelled down to Reading to visit Uncle Michael (UM) and Auntie Alison (AA). We arrived in Reading at 1pm whereupon UM prepared us a delicious lunch of ham sandwiches, yoghurt and grapes. We ate our lunch very quickly as UM said that as soon as we had finished we could go out to the park and feed the ducks.

The park was a 10 minute drive from UMâ??s house so we were there just after 2pm and our holiday fun commenced. We had taken some bread with us to feed to the ducks however never one to miss an opportunity to involve rugby UM began a game of â??pass the loaf of bread like a rugby ballâ? the game was going well until Emilie made her first pass which resulted in the loaf of bread disappearing over a fence and into the brambles! UM helped Daniel climb over the fence in order that he could retrieve the bread and we were soon ready to commence the game again.

After a short walk we came upon quite a steep sandy bank that UM thought would be good to run up and down – needless to say neither Daniel or Emilie required much encouragement and they were soon running up the hill however coming down proved a little more difficult – Daniel took it upon himself to slide down the hill on either his bum or knees and Emilie, being so small, required the assistance of UM each time she wished to descend.

After much frivolity on the hill we made our way to the lake so that we could feed the ducks (and the dreaded Canadian geese), we quite enjoyed feeding the ducks however Daniel was not enamoured when the geese started chasing him for the bread, it was reminiscent of UM being chased by Deer when he was a similar age and made Mummy laugh a lot!

After being chased we made our way to the park and had a good play on the slides, swings and climbing frames – Emilie loved sliding down the pole with absolutely no fear what so ever!

Then it was time for ice creams!!! Sadly we then had to go back home, have dinner and baths before going to bed.
