It was our friend Nicola's birthday at the beginning of April & we went to Calderstones Park for a walk with her & another friend, Clare to 'celebrate'! It was a bit chilly! At one point I lost Luke on Nicola's shoulders! I'm not joking! I looked right at Nicola & asked where Luke was without seeing his head behind hers!! Doh!
Annie enjoyed a game of football while we were there....
....and we all fed the ducks & geese with....
.... a lot of stale bread just like this piece Luke is showing you! ;0)
There were some unusual ducks on the lake that day too!
Clare got on really well with the boys (not surprising as she is a primary school teacher!). Timmy especially loved talking with her. In fact, he liked her so much that when he first met her last summer he called her his 'other mummy'!
Claderstones Park is full of ornamental gardens. We spent a long time looking in the pond at the fish. There were some monster sized ones in there!
The Japanese Gardens are full of little hiding places & streams with stepping stones. The green Timmy is running towards is a pond so I just had time to snap a quick piccie before dashing to stop him accidentally diving in!
These stepping stones were much more manageable!
There is also a 'stage' in the Japanese Gardens so the boys put on a dance show for us all to watch. It ended dramatically with them all falling on the cobbles after spinning wildly round the pole!!!
And somehow Timmy & Luke always manage to get whoever we go on a walk with to pick them up! (Don't worry Clare 'only' lifted them off the stage onto the path again!). It was a lovely afternoon with Nicola & Clare even though we got rained on & had to take refuge in the tiny cafe & drink hot chocolate!

Lovely blog! Do you remember putting on 'shows' for us at Ardeley with Cara and Donna? It used to be freezing! and we used to clap wildly and you used to say "not yet it's not the end!!"
History repeats itself. Mum
Looks like you had a fab day. Lovely setting too! xxx
