So finally the sun came out after what seems like the wettest drought ever and along with what seemed like half of St Albans we headed off to the splash zone in Verulamium park. Despite being very excited these places aren’t as much fun without a friend to play with and as Maddie got wetter and wetter and despite the sun colder and colder (the water isn’t heated) the novelty wore off but not before I managed to get this pic.
We went to go home but Maddie had other ideas, she had already spotted (several hundred yards away I might add) the ubiquitous bouncy castle/slide – I’m only jealous, I wish they’d had these when I was a kid! – so after much bouncing and “one more go…please” we called it a day.
