Tuesday:
A day with auntie Christine and Darcey.
We were re-aquainted with our painted pottery, I was super pleased with mine.
I wasn't quite so pleased with mine, the paint colour lacked the depth and impact I was hoping for.
We played out in the garden nearly all day:
It was gymnastics again, my old friend from Nursery and School Adrija was there for a taster session, hope she liked it and comes again.
While she was there I took my latest book that I had finished back to the library. I collected my stickers and carefully selected 'random' game cards from the box. I was well hyper about it.
They were done very quickly, in time to watch some gymnastics action properly as it was the last week of term viewing session. Which was great, until everyone laughed at me for splatting face down on the horse (it was intentional by the way).
Wednesday:
We went to the school holiday club, neither of us were looking forward to this at all.
No, we like the relaxed and laid back vibe of Dragon club.
But it turned out to be really quite agreeable actually. We got to do some art stuff,make cowboy hats and sherrif badges....
And we got to do some sporty stuff too, but the main focus of my day was Dad coming to get us, and take Hugo and I to Games Workshop. Hugo's already hooked and he's done a good job of getting me involved. I made a figure, painted him up and played a quick game against Hugo (which I won) inside half an hour. Now we're considering pooling our resorces to fund a starter set.....
I quite enjoyed seeing what it was all about too actually.
There was even one of old teaching assistants called Mr Nash in there playing a game too, so that was cool. He was awesome at playing dodge-ball with us, I told him he was missed at school, that went down well in front of his mates.
I finally went back to Team Kennet this week, it's been weeks. My enthusiasm was running at the same high levels and to make it even better we had a team 'sort of quad kids' tournament.
While he was doing this, I was doing timed sprints u and down the side of the track and once i'd puffed myself out I did some of my maths problems book.
The competition went really well, I performed well and felt good and our team won!
Each team member won a nice little Team Kennet pin badge, I was proper chuffed.
Thursday:
Mum was off again today.
So after a typically sluggish morning we finally got moving and headed off to town for the annual ritual of buying new school shoes!
Yes we did have to go through it again.
I'm an 11.5 F.
And i'm a 2G.
I didn't get a little toy inside mine, not happy about that, but a trip to the Entertainer soon remedied that, thanks Mum.
We went home for lunch and then packed up some stuff for tea and our swimming costumes before swinging by Dads work to pick him up and we headed for Southbourne.
Yay, a seaside trip!
What made it even more brilliant was the Red Arrows starting a display over Bournemouth pretty much the moment we spread out our blanket on the beach to sit down. It was an awesome display and I loved it.
They flew really low over us and I loved the coloured smoke coming out the back of the planes as they flew by.
After we'd watched that it was time for a bit of digging and general beach stuff.
Before hitting the water for a swim, it was such a lovely afternoon it would have been rude not to.
No wetsuits either, but the water was actually surprisingly pleasant once we were in.
We enjoyed the waves and I swam a long way out alone.
We'd worked up an appetite so headed back to the blanket for a well needed picnic.
And then went for a walk along the prom once we were dressed until the sun went down.
What a lovely afternoon.
Friday:
We had to go to school club again today.
But we had a great day!
Highlights were archery on the field and sweets.
Yeah, sweets, as prizes, we loved that.
Dad came to get us quite late as the traffic was so bad across town, in light of this we decided the best way for us to get to the swimming pool in time for my lesson was to ride our bikes.
It was a lovely afternoon for it and it really took no time at all, it wasn't far to the canal and then it was a short ride along the tow path until we got to the bridge over to Northcroft.
In fact, we were so early we had time to play on the park before we had to go in.
Swimming went well again.
And then we rode our bikes around the wafty BMX track at the top of the hill for a while, well, until I had a pretty nasty off and grazed my hands and elbows. I shrugged it off though and we bombed down the hill to play on the park until Mum left work and met us.
And we made our way home along the tow path again.
Apart from the injuries, quite a success.
Saturday:
A trip out, Bekonscot model village.
Apparently last time I came here I had just learned to walk and spent most of the time chewing the lovely low railings. I was much more interested in what I could spot this time around, as well as chasing the trains around too.
It was pretty good actually, the more you looked, the more you could find. My favourite things though had to the real life frog that had wandered into the model zoo and the real life duck roosting on the model rowing boat jetty.
We had a lovely picnic and a play on the park before having a wander around town.
The highlight of this being a trip to Temptations gift shop to laugh at the rude birthday cards. Bums, boobs and farts....hilarious.
Sunday:
I had a party to go to in the afternoon, it was my bestest friend Lilly and Talia having a joint bash. It was brilliant, music, games and a chocolate fountain no less!
We had another do to go to while she was there, Harriette's naming day. What a great time we had, splashing in the mega paddling pool, bouncing on the trampoline, swingball and best of all fighting with her brother Josh, who was lapping it up:
It wasn't all rough and tumble though, i had time for a quiet cuddle with Milly:
I even managed to skim right across the pool on an inflatable bodyboard (after running across the garden before launching myself) thanks to some expert coaching from Josh and Harriette's uncle Matthew.
Auntie Chistine came to get me as they were still at the party. That was cool, I got o go back to her house on my own and have a bath with Darcey.
While I got to make my way through an extended chocolate brownie binge, I even raised a piece as my offering for a toast!
Monday:
Our last day of the holidays with Auntie Christine.
We can't believe it, the holidays are almost over.
But in the meantime there was plenty of fun to be had.
Today's project was tie dyeing. It was great fun, even if the end results had to be waited for.
Add a trip to the pub for lunch, a visit to the park on the way home...
...and an afternoon in the garden playing with Darcey and it all added up to a good day.
So, many thanks to Aunie Christine and her supporting cast (uncle Ian, Darcey and Laura) for all the cool stuff we did over the holidays, I know Mum and Dad appreciate it nearly as much as we both do.
