We went on vacation last week! Or, as the Brits say, "holiday."
We stayed in a Centre*parc*s again - this time in a different location, in Wiltshire. Slightly easier to get to than the other ones, at least from our area of London, there was also the perk of driving past Stonehenge en route.
The kids really enjoyed themselves - and B and I had fun too. E and C are small enough to enjoy the free parts of the resort - swimming, playgrounds, the "land train" that you can catch from the cabins to the central area. B got a massage, E went to a pirates playgroup one morning, and we all generally hung out.
What's that you say? Pics or it didn't happen? Well then...
Kids enjoying the tire swing in one of the large adventure-type playgrounds. This place also had huge wooden structures for kids to climb up/in. Designed for 6+ but my kids shrugged that off and went gleefully roaming.
Feeding time for the
goblins kids. Note huge wooden structure in background. Did I mention they were alll over that?
Oh yeah, and on the zip wire. They both loved this. There was actually a larger one that we stumbled upon later, but this one E could do by himself, and C wasn't too intimidated by.
Gonna leave you with one last picture because I'm running out of time to blog. Here's E at the Pancake House enjoying a kids cocktail, a real treat for him. The view was amazing. I never knew how much I missed redwood trees until I left CA. Being among them again was really nice.
That's all for now! We have been really busy - we came home to the school fete (summer fundraiser) on Saturday and a classmate's party today (swimming party!). Tomorrow we're settling back into the groove of school, sports class, C's playgroup, etc. C and I are a bit under the weather but nothing terrible, probably just a bug picked up in the last few days of vacation. Looking forward to winding down the last few weeks at school and enjoying a hopefully not-too-rainy summer. I'll come back as soon as I can to post the last few photos.
