A busy day of play

Last year I took the kids to a huge soft play centre in Milton Keynes, with a big playframe, bumper cars, a carousel and a play street with different shops.  It was fantastic, but very expensive, so we haven't been back.
We went again today, and had an equally good time.  Betsy and Meg went on the carousel lots of times.

Betsy, Meg and I climbed and slid and jumped all around the playframe.  The slides were fast!  There was a brilliant ball area, with tubes of air that sucked the balls up and dropped them on the other side.

We were vets, and pizza chefs, and builders.

We did all this over about 3 hours.  But what was Freddie doing for all this time?  Well, he was mostly doing this:

Once he finds something he likes, he wants to keep on doing it!

Soft play on a sunny day

Yes, yes, another gap! Must try harder etc etc.

Freddie was chomping at the bit as always to go and see Jarvis. And as always I set 10am as the earliest time to go next door. Today he came racing back in tears as Jarvis had gone to Whizz Kids. Oh no! We had no plans this morning so we quickly get dressed, do a lightening strike tidy up and jump in the car.

At this point I was seriously questioning my sanity - a soft play centre in the school holidays? Crazy idea. But it was blissfully empty, everyone else outside enjoying the sunshine presumably.

So the big kids have a brilliant time racing around climbing, bouncing and sliding. Meg has fun in the tinys bit and we find a sit in toy for her amusement.



In the afternoon we went round to Amy and Daisy's for a play (F and B) and a cuppa (me and Bev). It was the first chance I'd had for Meg to wear the hat I made for her on Tuesday evening. It's a bit big, but I call that growing room :-)
