All back to ‘normal’ this week then. Boo! But it’s not so bad really is it?
Biking last week at the BMX track again, I was well up for it, maybe a little too up for it….I was coming down at quite a rate this time around when I took a jump a little too fast, had a bit of a wobble on landing and crashed into the next jump:
I hit the ground so hard my handlebars dug into the earth. I thought that was pretty cool, cool enough to stop me crying anyway. I had a pretty disappointing bruise count for such a hard crash. I was soon back on it though, albeit a little bit slower this time.
I sat and watched, I know how mum must feel now:
I did quite enjoy it though, it was a decent enough day to top up my tan a little bit.
Dad took Ellis and I shopping for mum’s birthday presents and cards, we did really well I reckon. I decided I didn’t want to make her a card this time around but told Dad that he had to instead while Ellis and I went for shop bought numbers. Once we were home Dad got busy with the glitter and paints under my careful guidance but he did it all wrong…he didn’t make hardly any mess at all!
Friday night we went to see Auntie Trish and Uncle Al in Amazingstoke, how exciting. We ate, we drank drinks with bubbles in, we went to the park and we had some quiet time watching telly. I was only there a couple of hours but we like to pack it all in!
I accompanied Mum and Dad on a secret mission to Toys R Us to get Ned some birthday presents (don’t tell him).
Saturday was Legoland time again!
Brilliant, I love Legoland, I get to drive:
But not only cars, we did boats as well this time:
Ned went in with Mum and I went in with Dad, we chased them all the way around the track waiting to make our move on the final corner. It all ended in big coming together and much shuffling of boats to get past.
I expect these pictures will look very much like the ones from our last visit, except Ellis will be bigger and I have probably had a haircut or something:
This time around though we stumbled upon the outdoor show arena just as it was about to start so we picked a nice spot and started on the picnic. I was soon pretty much agog at the high diving, jet ski-ing, kung fu fighting action and sat with my mouth open, baguette in hand until it had finished. I then finished my food and started stalking the cast members who were wandering around the poolside. It was brilliant and probably the highlight of my day…..well except for the big dragon rollercoaster that I decided I would go on, even though I hadn’t seen it properly (it’s tucked out of sight behind the castle). It was okay to begin with and then we climbed up a big hill before plunging down so fast I could barley believe it. After a few turns we started to climb again and I advised Dad I’d rather not have another big speedy drop, but it was too late, we were soon plunging down again. I was quite shaken up when we got off but after I’d calmed down I told Mum it was my favourite ride!
Even though I laughed the most on it’s smaller, less scary version with Mum.
We went on the big wheel, I explored a possible career direction for later life.
I loved the little train as I could go on it on my own, I had about 300 laps of this while Mum and Ellis had a nappy pitstop.
I had quite a nautical day, here we are on the fairytale brook thing:
I really enjoyed it, Ned was a bit skittish though, I think he was waiting for the big scary drop or growling attacking monster that never came.
Mum drew the short straw and had to come on the ride that required real physical exertion:
We got there when it opened and reluctantly left when they kicked us out because it was closing……what a great day out!
So we’d already had a pretty exciting start to the weekend, when Mum shouted up to us that we should look out of the window Sunday morning I could barley believe my eyes!
Snow! Loads of it! We didn’t have a carrot in the stock cupboard so I ruled out a snowman early doors. Owen was keen though and he was soon round:
We decided to head for Northcroft and were soon joined by Alan and Andy as well as Laura and James (hope the legs better Andy). There were snowballs and sledgeing aplenty.
The only problem was that I didn’t have any wellies since we lost one on holiday so I had pretty cold and wet feet. Poor parenting indeed.
I couldn’t see the attraction myself:
Although I think my lovely tan did contrast very well with the white snow didn’t it Laura!
Uncle Alan made me a snowball, thanks Alan. I t was wet cold and horrible:
I didn’t like it at all and could quite easily understand why everybody was throwing them about.
We soon got dry and warm and headed for Grandad’s for lunch where I showed off my standing up skills:
We went to the patk and I showed Alan how to ride a springy motorbike:
Even I had a little go:
Before Grandad and Anne gave me a push on the swings:
Then it was Mum’s birthday. Naturally I unwrapped her presents, opened her cards and ate her cake (actually, I didn’t eat the cake as I didn’t really like it. I did carry it in from the kitchen singing happy birthday though).
I also got to eat some delicious wrapping paper once again, it’s a shame such a tasty delicacy is reserved for such special occasions.
So after all that I was pretty tired:
Hopefully you'll now find this weeks video underneat. I've put my foot down with the wussy music this week though and insisted on using one of my sing along favourites by the Hives...enjoy!
