It's also amazing how much you can cram into a Bank Holiday weekend too! The Booths didn't arrive until 12 noon on the Saturday so we gave the kids some lunch in the garden and then they both went up for a nap so we could all enjoy some lunch of our own and a good old natter. Then we walked round to the park in the village.
The weather was a bit drizzly but it was just so nice to all be together and get in some fresh air. The kids played for ages on the swings and just charged round.
On our walk home we stopped off at Gill & Derek's for a cup of tea in their garden and a little play in Bob's favourite red and yellow car. Before we knew it we were all in the full swing of the Hokey Cokey.....a party is never too far away when Bear's around! Bobs was loving it, like literally falling over with laughter!
That night Chris cooked us a nice chillie and we had more of a good natter before being up early
with the kids the next morning. On the Sunday it was glorious sunshine so it was off to the Splash Pad in Brintons Park for us with a picnic! Georgia absolutely loved the splash pad - Bobs was not so sure. He's always loved swimming and bath time but he seems to be going off water a little bit now. I'm not sure if it's the coldness of the water, or the shock when other children splash him. Anyway the little tinker decided he loved it if I went down the slide with him, so it was me being the one to land in the big puddle at the bottom!
We all came home so the kids could have a nap and then later in the afternoon popped to De
Beers for an ice cream and the kids had a play outside.
Just everything was perfect. The bath times together, the story times, the kids sitting at the table banging the table for their breakfast...it was all magical. I wish they all lived closer. Can't wait for our next get together.
