Enjoying August.
00:00We have really been enjoying the summer holidays and spending lots of time outside while the weather is nice! We actually prefer the weather when its slightly cooler and Monday was one of those cooler days. We decided we were going to have mini picnic and visit a park we haven't been to for a while. We may have done a bit of PokemonGO hunting whilst we were out on our adventure. We hada lovely walk down to the shops and actually found a new bakery, somewhere we haven't tried before! Tucked away down a little lane. I treated the kids to a freshly baked, filled roll and a muffin each! We took our 'picnic' and went to a park close by. We were the only ones at the park (Well, there was someone there walking a dog when we first arrived, apart from that though, we were the only ones there) so we had the whole park and field to ourselves. It's a lovely park with a playground, perfect for Ellie and two football goals for the boys to play football on! It's surrounded by beautiful scenery and trees with lots of benches and places to rest and watch the kids! :)
We had a wonderful day. I got in my 10k steps, Charlie was pleased with how many Pokemon's we spotted and captured, Harry enjoyed a kick around with the football and Ellie had a blast on the park and I was more than happy to have five minutes peace, haha.
I hope the weather lasts so we can take our own picnic next time :D I think this place would be perfect for flying a kite too... On a breezy day though of course.
I hope you have been enjoying the summer holidays so far. :)

ReplyDeleteLovely to see them all playing together and not fighting. Ours went looking for pokemon earlier as well while we played with the wee ones in the park.
ReplyDeleteThink it is great to get the park to yourself but is sad no one is using the great free resource. #BinkyLinky
