Fun — Blog — They Grow up so Quickly

Today saw us off to Ralph’s Superhero themed birthday party, with special guests in the form of Batman, Superwoman and Belle. There must have been 100 children there! Ok ok so maybe like 20 but it certainly seemed like 100. Luckily Wonder Woman has super powers otherwise she would not have kept up. Apparently Heather chose Batman and Wonder Woman, however, we all know that Dan must have had some say in it!

We arrived about an hour late, but there was still lots of fun to have, with dancing and games to be had. James took until almost the end to warm up and join in but he got there eventually.

Getting the little man started early! Definitely not beer, honest!

Certainly takes after his mother - cake and wine

This weekend saw us welcome some visitors in the form or Lydia and Nigel who we had not seen for a good few months. They brought their little man Ted with them who would have lots of fun playing with James and, in fact, it was lovely to see them playing together, especially as they shared very well.

On the Saturday eve, once the boys had gone to bed, we settled in with a few gins, some dinner and good conversation. We had agreed to head over to Beningbrough in the morning.

We arrived at Beningbrough dead on opening time, so much so, we even had to queue to get in. Once in, it was first things first! Cups of hot tea all round as it was quite cold. Once we all had cups of the steaming hot drinks, to the park area we headed. If you have not been, there is a fantastic park there.

After we had all had a good play, we decided to go for a walk. More to get into the sun and warm up than anything else. We walked past the fish pond and noticed that their was a thick layer of ice on it. The boys, with some support, had great fun standing on it. This caused all sorts of giggles and squeals to erupt!

After the fun on the ice, we headed back into the warm of the cafe to enjoy another cup of coffee and a cake. That would do for lunch as we had cooked a bacon and blackpudding butty for breakfast. Stornaway blackpudding and homemade bacon none the less.
