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!
Isabelle is 7 today!
She had some fantastic gifts – lots of mermaid things and a scooter that was resprayed by Daddy.
After we picked Isabelle up from her Rainbows sleepover we went to Markeaton Park so you could have a splash around in the paddling pool there.
Today we went shopping, then after lunch we went to Shipley Park for a walk. It was very hot so we stopped off for an ice lolly.
After we picked Isabelle up from school we went back to Jungle Madness for a splash about in the paddling pool to cool down!
Today it was Isabelle’s Mermaid Party!
There were mermaid ‘shells’ to make (paper plates that were painted), mermaid biscuits decorated party food and mermaid shells to break in to to find pearls!
Today Mummy took you to her friend Katie’s little boys first Birthday Party. It was a very hot day so we spent the afternoon out in her garden.
Katie’s garden backs on to the canal so we saw lots of boats going past!
Today it was Loughborough Car Show – there were lots of cars to look at in the town centre but you both enjoyed a ride in a little electric car too!
Afterwards we went for lunch and you showed off a new skill – pouring your own apple juice out!
Today we went to Bawdon Lodge Farm which is a farm just up the road from us.
They had milking demonstrations, calves for you to feed, colouring in, tractors to ride, cows to brush, a horse dressed as a unicorn, face painting and lots of other interesting things to see and do too!
We went to the miniature railway at Stapleford Park today.
There were lots of traction engines as well as the miniature trains!
We went to the Nottingham Arts Festival today to go inside something called the Luminarium. Is like a big inflatable that you can walk around inside and coloured plastic let’s rays of light through to make the whole thing glow in different colours!
