Multi sports on tuesday, and we got to try proper long jump into the sandpit. I'm claiming a jump of over 7 feel, which although it hasn't been independently verified is totally legit! We also played football and I scored a magnificent five goals to help our team win the match 5-2.
I had a quiet afternoon with Dad, we did a bit out in the garden and slumped in front of the TV, i'm really making the most of my lazy afternons without Ned and before i'm having to stay at school all day. I've been really loving the hot weather though, playing out in the garden with our water toys. I've even managed to get the hang of the slide now, as you will see at the video at the bottom.
Uncle Alan had the pleasure of our company on Wednesday. After much careful debate we opted of rthe Cotswold wildlife park.
Mum made a bit of a mistake and didn't tell hime a few vital things though:
1) We like to have lunch early, campainging usually begins at 11am with an eye on an 11:30 lunchtime.
2) No matter where we go, if there's a park or playground we'd rather go on that than see whatever else is on offer at the chosen attraction.
3) I don't like walking very far.
We did have a cool time though, even if I didn't get to see quite as many animals as i'd have liked. At least we managed to spot my lost hat from the train ride around the park though, even if it was a long old walk to go and retrieve it.
When we got home Uncle Den was keeping Dad company, it was lovely to see him of course, I love his motorbike, he even let me press the start button and the horn!
So Thursday I came home with a certificate proclaiming me player of the day after multi sports on Thursday! Not bad eh? This was a general award for all the sports we covered that day, including cricket and dodgeball amongst other things. I've still not managed to win the DVD of the day competition though.
I took Dad around Tesco for the weeks provisions. It was so enthralling I fell asleep in the trolley again.
Friday was an Auntie Christine day, she took pity on us and reckoned we looked tired.
So it was declared a lazy DVD day, yay!
We watched Shrek the third, Alvin and the Chipmunks 2 and best of all, How to train a dragon.
We loved it, really loved it. So much so that when Dad arrived to pick us up we made him sit and watch it with us.
The weekend was upon us. BMX racing had been moved to Saturday so I decided we'd go along and I wouldn't get all stressy this time. Andy came along for the ride and the picnic.
Yeah, I took my bike and had a great time with the racers:

Still in front towards the halfway point and everything is looking good:
But I sort of decided it was all too easy, lost one place to my mate Charlie and then got pipped on the line for third. Oops. Not so good really. Truth be told I had a bit of a shocker. I did pretty much the same thing in my second moto but managed to salvage a second place. The third race was no better either with a pretty nasty crash when I hit someone who was over taking me. I was not happy, not happy at all crossing the line in last place once i'd got up and dusted myself down.
I was a little more positive by finals time and once again lead the race all the way until the last corner when Charlie passed me. I couldn't believe it. Everyone said I had raced very well though so thats something I suppose. Charlie and I had a great time though and he soon appeared after the race with some sweets to share with Ellis and I.
We headed into Portsmouth after the race as it was all finished quite early.
We rather liked this old torpedo:
But not as much as we liked the Spinnaker tower.
We went up in a super speedy lift and couldn't believe how high we were when we got to the top.
The glass floor was really cool, you could see right down to the ground and indeed the sea through it:
You could see for miles and miles, you could even see HMS Victory down below in the hostoric shipyard:
We went out for a pub lunch on Sunday to the Furze Bush.
It was all very civilized for us actually, I had a lovely fish and chips to go with my mayonnaise bowl.
I had sausages, beans and chips and made it into a variety of comedy faces.
The main event though was of course the park out the back, even if it was a bit mucky in places:
Still, it was nice and clean when I had finished playing.
Auntie Christine again today.
Even though I tried to play the tired card we ended up going to Reading on the train.
Yeah, we had to go and get George the monkey a new voice from the Build A Bear shop.
Yeah, we loved it in there though so it was well worth going. What made it even more worthwhile was the fact that I was finally allowed on one of those inflatible balls that you walk around inside on a big pool of water. I've always wanted to go on these but Mum and Dad always say no. It was every bit as brilliant as i'd hoped too and I loved it, even if it was pretty tiring and it was quite hard to get up if you fell over.
I had a go on the big slide instead as I wasn't old enough for the balls just yet.
We ended up having a right old get together in the end, Laura, Darcey, Uncle Ian, Auntie Trish and Mum and Dad in the end. Shame we had to go home really......
Nah, my school uniform had arrived and I couldn't wait to try it on. I looked proper grown up in it and was so excited. You'll have to wait until September for pictures i'm afraid....
