Nedster's World now featuring Ellis!

So then, we've been on holiday:

Maybe the sunglasses were a bit optimistic in view of the weather forecast but we put them on anyway and hoped for the best!
We trekked down Friday night as usual giving us a full day on saturday, and we needed it. It was action from the start. Owen rang up to tell us he'd crashed his car on the way down Saturday morning..oh dear. At least no one was hurt, Andy went to collect them and we went to see Auntie Christine and Uncle Ian in their holiday cottage up the road (they are far too posh to slum it in a caravan like the rest of us). Everyone arrived in dribs and drabs throughout the day and pretty soon the caravan was full of gatecrashers:

During a break in the rain we hit the beach for a bit:

The water was lovely and warm (well, bareable in my hand me down wetsuit, I had to accesorise with the headgear).

The sand was tasty....

Even uncle Alan braved the elements for a bit of a play:

Next day was Crealy day.....I was sooooo excited! I loved showing everyone around and we were all soon having a lot of fun. It was great to play in the ball pools with Ellis, Kimi and Abi aven if I was a bit 'full on' for them....
But of course there's the proper rides too, we had loads of goes on the boats (but no pictures i'm afraid as everyone was having a go). Then there was the beast, I was just about tall enough to have a go, so on we went:

We were soon bouncing up and down in the air, I loved it!

Then it was onto the pirate ship....a-haaar!!! We stayed on for ages and made a LOT of noise!

Then it was onto the bumpy slides, even I got a go at this:

Before a spot of ball pool warfare broke out:

Owen and I became giants:

And Dad had to take a picture of himself on the horses to prove he was there:

We pressed on throught the bad weather and had the best attended barbeacue in Treyarnon Bay history, it was pretty smoky:

Because Ian and I were cooking:

Before long Abi and I were tucked up for a spot of Night Garden, she has more staying power than I do though:

The weather was pretty bleak the next morning. Mum, Dad and Andy had this ridiculous idea that we should go and play on the beach....it was raining for goodness sake! I kicked up a right old fuss and fortunatley Chard took pity on me and let me go in his caravan, we watched Santa Claus films in the warm and dry, it was brilliant. Thanks Chard!

Yeah, I still had to go to the beach though....

We did eventually have some sunshine, so we got down the Cafe for a cream tea, Slim and I went off for our usual exploration session:

Before re-joining the rest for our cakes:

We played Cricket on the beach, Dad reckons it's a stupid game, I would have to agree, there's a lot of hanging about and the bat was really big and heavy for me:

Auntie Christine was the acting sports reporter with Auntie Tracey on Umpire duties:

We went out with John and Sarah to Pizza Hut (sorry Alan). It was great fun. I decided I was going to be all classy and have my coke in a wine glass:

The ice cream factory was brilliant as usual.


We played croquet:

We sat on the beach some more:

We went on a speed boat ride:

Now I think Owen and myself thought this was going to be a bit of a sedate cruise, it turned out to be a real blast. the boat driver kept checking that I was okay and then started throwing us into rapid turns, jumping other boats wakes and loads of general zooming about, it was brilliant and I loved every minute of it.

We had a sneaky return visit to Crealy:

I bravely stroked the pigs:

And was finally allowed to ride the horses alone:

We rode the Beast until it closed down for the day:

And then had a nice calm bedtime story:

John and Sarah came over at the weekend, we played Tennis:

And then went down the beach just for a change. We dug a massive hole in the dunes with the help of a shift system for grown ups while Owen press ganged us into makign his skull and crossbones masterpiece come to life:

I tried my hardest to emulate Ned and take my first steps at the caravan but it wasn't to be:

On the last day we headed for Constantine for a last blast:



And then it was time to leave. Boo. Thanks to everyone who made it down to see us, play with us and look after us, we had a great time! Shame about the Curly Wurly's though Nick?

A special mention for Andy who had the 'pleasure' of our company for the week, thanks for the early morning entertainment while Mum and Dad were to lazy to get up, they owe you big time!
So then, nursery is rubbish, I want to go to school. We visited another potential one for me on Monday afternoon, I loved it and wanted to start right away! Having said that, I was made special lunch helper at nursery because I was such a good boy all morning. After that it was Tesco's for shopping. I spotted some cheap rollerskates and had been on about having some for ages....good job I had some birthday money. Obviously i'm brilliant at it...unless i'm falling hard on my bum.

And my big news is that I took a few steps all on my own on Monday, I missed the caravan by a day!
