Auntie Christine looked after us last Tuesday.
Well, Auntie Christine with a rolling cast of Laura, Darcey and Uncle Den at various parts of the day anyway.
Yeah, how lovely. We watched Toy Story 3 and went to the park amongst our trips to two supermarkets to get my Garlic Roule cheese (my current favourite).
Mum had Wednesday off, we had a quiet morning and we're all set to go to JJ's in the afternoon.
We were, but I was being a bit of a naughty boy and we didn't go. Oh dear. I was rather upset to say the least.....
We went to Snelsmore in the late afternoon instead.
I did NOT want to go, at all, under any circumstances.
I did, I love going up the woods and wandering about.
I changed my tune pretty soon when we saw the horses grazing and I tried t sneak up on them......no good they saw me a mile off and suantered off.
We loved the swing of course:
Yes we did indeed, I decided I liked the woods after all (but JJ's would have been better):
We did a little bit of tree climbing:
Trip to the cinema on Thursday, I love the cinema.
We went to see Mr. Poppers penguins with Auntie Trish and Auntie Christine. We loved it.
Yeah, we really loved it and talked about it all night at home afterwards.
We visited the pasty shop for lunch and ate it by the canal in the sunshine, lovely.
Then it was home to give Auntie Trish a crash course in the fine art of Uno playing.
Then it finally happened, we actually went to JJ's at long last.
Yes we did indeed, there were car seats and no bad behaviour...nothing to stop us!
Trish and Mark came to pick us up and head back to Amazingstoke, we were the first ones through the door so it mega exciting.
We gave them the full guided tour as they hadn't been before, Mark stepped up to the plate with a trip around the very top section which is super tight and wriggly and of course he went on the drop slide.
And so did I! Without anyone holding me or anything. I had a little pep talk from Ned and then...whoosh!
We had a McDonalds for lunch to round things off before returning home. Perfect.
Once we'd picked Mum up from work we headed off to Hungerford for a riverside picnic, Dad was desperate to wring the last bit of summer out for all it was worth.
I bolted my picnic down as quick as I could as I couldn't wait for a splash about.
I ate a little more than Ellis was but soon enticed in, the swing is still really cool:
Weird scenes on saturday, Mum went out on her own for the day to something called a Hen party? It was for Hayley so we're guessing it's something to do with the wedding thats coming up?
We ordered Mum to take a Legoland Badge with her to remind her of us.
Whatever it was all about we had Dad for the day alone, luckily he'd seen sense and organised some activities for us.
Yeah we went bowling with Alan, Andy, Owen, Kin, Fen and a chap called Chris.
We had a good time, even though I was a little disappointed with my bowling performance.
I wasn't, I got some strikes and even beat Owen (without using the ball launching ramp thing I might add).
After the bowling we had a go on the arcade machines for a good while.
We went home for a lovely bit of shepherds pie for me!
And some hot sausage rolls for me before we were given the choice of a bedtime story or Dr. Who.
Dr. Who won out of course, we had a cuddle up session and watched it before turning in for the night Mumless.
There was very little activity on Sunday morning, I think it turned out to be a rather late night for the grown ups in the end.
Thankfully Slim and Trace paid us a visit to liven things up, sporting their Brazil suntans
and some really cool pencils made out of tree branches that they'd got us on their travels.
And a really cool elastic band launched, light up helicopter thing, sounds complicated, looks awesome, can't wait for the dark evenings to see it in all it's glory. Of course I had to teach Slim how to play Uno, we gave him a good old stuffing but Dad says thats only because we weren't playing for money.
It was then time for Luca's party, I was really looking forward to this one. It started off in the sports hall with all the gymnastic equipment set up as an obstacle course. I was on it straight away, balancing over the beam easily and jumping form the really high bits. Then it was bouncy castle, Bumpers and then the food. Luca and I were the first ones to eat up by a mile...spaghetti!!!!
And what exciting things did Dad and I get up to while the gorls were out? Well, I played a Motocross game on the Wii while Dad watched bike racing on the internet. He was getting rather excited about it all too, in fact just like some people do when there's football on the telly?
I came home pretty worn out, but stil had enough energy to give Ned my cake (that had yucky jam in it) and give my lovley Poppy a bit of loving:
Then it was monday, the last day of the summer holidays.
Mum was at work so Dad was on duty today. We had a slow start with a bit of computer games/telly/board games before we went to town to take Mum out for lunch.
We finally found a copy of the Harry Potter book thats missing from home. Thats good, I can carry on with those at bedtime now.
And then in the afternoon we went to the Uffington white horse, my word it was windy:
But it was also seriously cool, thousands of years old apparently?
Whatever, it was on a massive hill and we loved it. We could see for miles (until the rain swept in anyway).
We walked all the way around the hill fort too, where I gave Dad and Ellis a brief outline of how I would defend the castle if it was up to me. This included Stinging nettles, brambles, rose bushes and thistles as a front line. Followed by a team of trained angry horses adn kicking donkeys, backed up by kicking kangaroos, a sprinkling of tigers and lions and then a crack squad of assasin beavers.
We got home and I went through my final preparations for my first day at school tomorrow. I've chosen to go with my summer dress for my first day. I'm pretty excited about it as well!
And I had a crash course on how to tie a tie now i'm going to be a junior. Remarkably I think i've got the hang of it already, must be Mum's expert teaching?
So thats it for this week and indeed the summer holidays too. We'd like to really thank everyone who's looked after us over the last six weeks, and I hope you have recovered from whatever ill effects you may have incurred (ringing of the ears, stress, the snivels etc.).
