The Aldrich Gang April 2014

After we got back from Swanage it was a quick turnaround to get ready for Phoebe,Abigail and William. We love having them and we get to go to a lot of places that we normally wouldn't bother with. 

The weather was good so on the first day we set off for a picnic at Tilgate Park in Crawley.

We took some badminton rackets and a ball. Simples! 

             

     Badders anyone?

They played all afternoon, so did we!! Needless  to say, we were quite tired when we got home

Next day we went to the Science Park at Herstmonceux. We've been before but they still found enough to occupy themselves for the day.

Building a dam.

We went into the telescope dome this time. 

They opened the roof which was quite impressive. Unfortunately the presentation was just a bit too technical and I don't think the kids enjoyed it much. 

The last time we went we were told that there was an image of Albert Einstein, a bit of an optical illusion,that could be seen from a metal work globe of the Earth. We couldn't see it then but this year we did! 

Clever stuff ! 

Next day the kids did some craft.

 In the afternoon we went to Wet And Wild. We went last year on a rainy day during the summer holidays and it was rammed. However, this year we went on a sunny day and there were only about 20 kids in the whole place. Perfect.

The next day William got taken off to golf by grandad. The girls made up a dance

It was a beautiful day so we went outside onto the green and they had lots of space to practise.

So flexible, makes me feel as if I'm made of wood. !!!

                         

   

All too soon the week was over. We had a brilliant time.
