We’re back, we didn’t freeze to death, get blown away or flooded out, quite the contrary in fact but before we get onto the holiday stuff I need to mention my uncle Alan, the other one. How lucky can a little girl be to have not one, but two uncle Alan’s? While noisy uncle Alan took Ned and Mum to see Grandma (who’s still in hospital) in the racing Aygo, Auntie Trish and Uncle Al came over to see us. Uncle Al and I had a lovely cuddle for ages and ages, I’d never been this close to a northerner before.
I’ve also been grinding my five teeth, much to Mum’s annoyance and trying to stand up at every opportunity. Everyone else seems to be able to, so I don’t see why I shouldn’t!

Yeah yeah yeah whatever…holidays!!!!
First off, things were a little weird, we didn’t go to the usual cravan we had one right at the front of the park over looking the sea, but best of all it overlooked Gary’s shop. I decided pretty much there and then I was going to have a great week.
Once we had said our hello’s to Andy, John, Sarah, Mark, Amy, Jean and John and lifted the microwave from the Hardy van (thanks Hardy’s) we got straight on the beach and had a poke around the dunes:

We had lovely leisurely breakfasts without having to rush for work and nursery:

We even got to share a bedroom which was great fun in the mornings when we woke up and amused ourselves for ages before the grown ups got out of bed.
I was relieved that the Easter Bunny gets as far as Cornwall:

We went to Crealy, now quite why we’ve never been here before is a mystery to me, they have a horse track:
Photobucket
We went on it again and again and again:
Photobucket
Now my love of horses is well documented I know, but these ones were even better as Dad kept finding mini easter eggs in their ears!
I decided to sit it out in my buggy:

We rode motorbikes:

I nearly got lost in the ball pool:
Photobucket
I fed a baby goat, it sucked on it’s bottle much harder than Ellis does on hers:
Photobucket
We went on hundreds of slides, hundreds of times:
Photobucket
Photobucket
I made Dad’s ears bleed screaming for speed on the pirate ship:
Photobucket
Mum and I went the fastest boats in the world:
Photobucket
And got very wet indeed:
Photobucket
And we went on the log flume, the water was freezing:
Photobucket
What a great day out and we’d only been away for a day!
We had more beach action:
Photobucket
But sadly we lost one of my Lightning Mcqueen wellies to the sea. I was quite upset about that.
I soon cheered up though, we were soon off to Polzeath for bouncy castles:

Photobucket
Ice creams:
Photobucket
(notice the lack of coats)
And rockpools:
Photobucket
I was king of the castle once again:
Photobucket
We even went for a paddle:
Photobucket
Even Dad joined in for once.
We admired the view out of the window:
Photobucket
We went to Eden project, it looked so exciting from the outside:
Photobucket
But was pretty boring inside, it was all just plants:
Photobucket
And it was very, very warm:
Photobucket
But it wasn’t all a let down, they had an ice rink so Dad took me skating:
Photobucket
It was great fun, I let him hold my hands most of the way round the rink until we got to two lovely young ladies I had my eye on that were watching from the side. Every time we went past them I made him let go and fend for himself.
Then it was back to the beach for some surfing, the sea wasn't as cold as the log flume:
Photobucket
And Frisbee in the sun shine:
Photobucket
Before cleaning the sand from my feet in a rather novel manner:
Photobucket
Having our first lunch of the year out on the picnic blanket:
Photobucket
and doing some more looking out of the window.

Even tough I managed to injure myself on a daily basis one way or another (falling on the corner of a box/impaling myself on a post/falling into Ellis' travel cot/running into a head high barrier and plenty more i've forgotten but still bear the bruises from) what a great week, I really didn’t want to come home and was quite vocal about it.
It wasn’t all bad though, Auntie Christine came round to watch Charlie and the Chocolate factory with me on Saturday night while Mum and Dad went out. I really loved it and stayed up really late to see the end. Thanks for helping explain what was going on Auntie Christine, I had a lovely night.
