Ice Skating

Today we went to a garden centre to try ice skating.

You loved being pushed around on a dolphin and Isabelle has a really good go at skating on her own.

There were some singing penguins which you found very funny!

It was a lovely start to Christmas!

Loughborough Fair

It doesn’t feel like a year since it last came around but the fair descended on Loughborough again and this was the first year where both of you were able to go on similar rides.

Rufford Abbey Monster Hunt

Today we went on a spooky trail through the grounds of Rufford Abbey!

They had lots of scary displays and you got a prize at the end of the trail (as well as an ice cream!).

They had a big new play area so you spent time on this and Isabelle enjoyed learning all about Arbella who used to live at the Abbey and was almost Queen!

Isabelle loves reading the board that told visitors all about the ghosts and hauntings that are meant to happen at Rufford!

Trains by night

We headed to Sutton Bonington once the sun had gone down tonight to go and see ‘trains by night’ in the garden of a coffee shop there. You both enjoyed seeing (and driving the trains) alongside the mandatory hot chocolate and marshmallows!
