Out & About

Over the past month or so we've been on quite a few trips to parks & friends houses etc but I have been spectacularly good at forgetting to take my camera with me to record the occasions! Last week the boys had an Inset Day at school so a group of us who have children at the same school all went to the park by the National Wildflower Centre with the idea of spending a happy morning playing before having a picnic altogether. Well, in true British style, it was raining & howling a gale so the morning was cut rather shorter than planned & the picnic was eaten in the cafe! It was fun though & the boys loved playing with their friends. And as we are members of the Wildflower Centre we had a good play in there too. They love the giant beehive very much as you can see!
Last Sunday after the morning service our church held an indoor picnic. Again, in true British style, the weather outside was GORGEOUS & warm & sunny!! Still, we had fun inside at the picnic with many of our friends....
... and the boys had a whale of a time on the bouncy castle! Can you spot them?? After the picnic we went for a walk in Sefton Park (which is being renovated & is looking fabulous! Sorry no pix- left my camera in the car!!) to make the most of the beautiful weather. We were all exhausted but happy afterwards!! (Timmy said it was the best weekend EVER actually!)
Recently we took our first visit to Speke Hall. It was fabulous! The boys enjoyed running around the gardens...
...and posing for photos.
Annie Joy was less enamoured with the idea of me taking her photo however!! She does have quite a cute grumpy face though!
Everyone enjoyed playing in the play area. Timmy really wanted to slide down the fireman's pole but it was really very high up & he was nervous to try it as you can probably tell by his face!
This was as far as he got. Maybe next time he'll manage to do it.
Annie Joy loved climbing the ladder up to the big slide (with Jordan's help. That's him in the top right hand corner of the photo).
She loved sliding down on Jordan's lap even more though! Look! She even waved for the photo! So all in all, we've had some fun adventures of late & now that the boys are on their Easter holidays, I am sure we'll be having some more very soon (if we're not too worn out!!). Hope all who read are well. Have a great weekend! :o)
