Category: The early days

This morning we had our last breakfast.

We made sure the ducks were fed again and Isabelle found a new use for the putting green (a scooter track!)

Next we had a walk through Cookham Village and along the Thames to look at the big houses!

Then we went up the road to a National Trust House and beautiful water gardens. They had a big maze and a story book play area, so had a walk and a play before getting in the car to come home!

Today we had a lovely day splashing around by the pool at Odney!

The day started when we gave the ducks their breakfast!

We finished our night off with a lovely meal at Odney, Isabelle made her Lego castle that she bought at Lego land yesterday while Jessica ran around on the lawn at the front!

Jessica has been asking to play golf on the putting green at the front of the house we’ve been staying in or on the ‘golf grass’ as she’s called it! You both quickly lost inter test and just chased each other around with the golf clubs instead!

Despite Mummy slathering you in suncream all day you’re both incredibly tanned-look at this picture of Isabelle, it’s as if she’s still wearing her swimming costume!

We have a brilliant day at Legoland today. We got there as the gates were opening and didn’t come away until they were closing!

The first ride of the day was the Lego cars where you gained your Lego driving licences!

Isabelle let you have her turn first, and we had a good giggle as you crashed her away around the track to earn your licence!

We went on a duplo train, helicopter, a Lego submarine, zapped Lego characters on a laser ride, went on a storybook ride to name just a few!

At the end of the day Isabelle made three Lego characters to bring home – one that looks just like her, one that’s a dr character (Isabelle says that’s her in 20years time) and one that’s a queen.

Isabelle also got a Lego keyring with her name engraved on to it and we got you a Lego brick style box and had your name engraved on that!

Today we had a big breakfast to set us up for the day (Isabelle only had a small breakfas: a cooked breakfast of sausage and scrambled eggs, a bowl of cereals plus three slices of toast and Nutella!).

Then we got our sun cream on ready for the day and head out to Beale Park.

First we went on a train ride, then we saw some animals, had a paddle in the pool and played in the play area!

You had been asking all day to go on a boat so when we got back to Odney we hired a rowing boat and rowed down the river!

Today we set off for our first holiday of the summer – we had a long car journey to get here but it’s been worth it!

As soon as we got here you both wanted to head straight for the outdoor pool!

We spent all afternoon there before getting our room key. Isabelle is enjoying being a big seven year old and has gone off to explore the house and play by herself while Mummy has a shower and you had a snooze!
