Nedster's World now featuring Ellis!

Hmmm, what have we got this week....lets see.
I'm a bike obsessive. Dad keeps playing it down but he loves it really. We went to the jumps on Henwick field on Thursday after school, they were pretty good and I got really good at launching off the last couple.
I also had a brilliant time riding the jumps and bumps on my scooter, I love it almost as much as Ned and have told everyone i've come into contact with about my exploits.
The weather's been lovely hasn't it? Is it summer now?

Dad cleared off out on saturday morning with Owen on their bikes. Firstly I wasn't happy because they didn't take me with them and secondly I wasn't happy as he didn't come home for ages! Mum was spot on though and we did loads of messy stuff and art and all the other stuff that makes Dad grumpy. We were supposed to be having a barbecue for lunch but we couldn't wait any longer, so Mum sorted us out a lovely picnic to be getting on with:



They finally got home and started the barbecue, we weren't interested in the food but it was nice to have Owen and Andy around, Uncle Den also managed to sniff out a cooked sausage and just so happen to turn up too so that was nice.
Yeah, I loved his motorbike!
Auntie Christine ordered Mum and Dad out on Saturday night as we had some proper business to sort out....finishing off my scrapbook of our week in the holidays. We made a lovely job of it and I was proper proud with my work. It took a while though, we had quite a late night.....
Yeah, and we watched the dancing on the telly, I loved the outfits they were wearing, especially the purple ones!
So we weren't in much of a hurry to hit the road on Sunday morning, even though we were off to Beale Park.
Having said that, the lure of animals was enough to get me up and at 'em! After an unscheduled 'piddle stop' on the A4 we were soon there.
As i'd paid a visit here last year with Grandad, I appointed myself as official tour guide:

I took on the role of official pointer for the day:

And escapologist!

Here I am, showing my caring side with the animals:

This was after i'd seen the turkeys though, I greeted them with a cheerful 'Hello Turkey's' followed by a slightly less cheerful 'are you looking forward to Christmas'

It was harder to hurt the piggies feelings though:

Although we doubled up in a better attempt:

The best thing of all though was of course the parks. We don't care where we go, what we do, how much we've paid or what we've seen, we always love the parks the best!

And this one even had a paddling pool (I'd been clever enough to request the swimming stuff before we left home too, how organised am I?)

I really enjoyed pushing Ned into the water:

Before having a go myself:

And I amazed Mum with my underwater swimming......i'm thinking a return to swimming lessons may be in order in the near future.

Of course, no trip to an animal park would be complete without a trip on the train would it?

And a lazy swing session for two very tired children:

Monday night after school down the park on the bikes, yay!

Yeah, it was good to play with Noah and George, I didn't want to go home.
This weeks school project....healthy eating!!! Don't all laugh at once out there will you. Anyway, I thought the roast ought to cover it (well, there's some green beans, red cannage and carrots on there).
