Well, as far as half term school holidays go, this has been a bit of a wet one!!
We had planned to do a treasure hunt in the garden, but the rain has put that on hold.
This morning started out quite warm and sunny, but by lunch time the skies had gone dark and then the rain started, it was one heck of a storm !
In a bid to keep the children occupied, we decided to load them in the cars and we headed to a local childrens adventure centre, called Monkey Bizness. We had a fantastic afternoon, the older children went on the play area, which has slides and shoots and ball pits and loads of other things, the children were totally in their element. There is also a smaller area for younger children, so every one was happy.
I took some lovely photos of the children having fun, but I will not put any of them on the blog, as in almost every one of them there was someone elses child ha ha!! Obviously I have no way of getting their permission to put their child on the blog, so there are no pictures (sorry!!). I suppose that is what you get for trying to take pictures in a very very busy play area....LOL!!
Lauren had a fantastic time on her sleepover yesterday, she had fun at the zoo and then really enjoyed her night away. She rang me before she went to bed and sounded fine, so I was happy.
We are just going to have a peaceful day tomorrow, we may do some cooking (put those hunky fire fighters on alert ha ha!!), we usually make cakes or something and there is a whole box of collage stuff that the children can get stuck into!!
I have really enjoyed having the children home for half term, but on Monday it will be back to school and the mad rush of the school runs and uniforms etc!!!

It's good to have a break from the old routine, but i always enjoy them going back to school!!
My boys love soft play, but last time we went the youngest wanted to go in with the big kids. I was knackered pulling him out of the big end! I think we will go back when Callums 5!

Hi Tabitha
We've also used those children's adventure centres on rainy days. They're fantastic. Sav was able to go into the toddler area and burn up some of that excess energy she has.
Sometimes the rain can make for a long day. It would be good if it were to let up so that you could have your treasure hunt and picnic.
Only a few more days of holidays to go....enjoy!
Love
Elise
