Skiing Again
It’s been a while since Maddie last went skiing so we weren’t sure how she would get on. We needn’t have worried though as apart from a dodgy first lesson where the instructor only spoke French she made fabulous progress and loved it do much I even had to ski in the rain with her!…

Bibberty Bobberty Boutique
Maybe the traditional Disney Characters were scary but to be honest for Maddie this year its all about being a princess. She just loves dressing up and after a bit of pester power we succumbed to the complete Princess make over in BB Boutique (The only activity actually inside Sleeping Beauty’s castle). It was a…

Disneyworld!
Before we went to Disney Maddie was so excited about meeting Minnie Mouse. I was really hoping I could get a picture of her with Minnie but it turned out she was a bit scared of the characters!! (Well most of them anyway) It certainly didn’t spoil the trip as we had an absolute ball.…

Giddy Up
So we managed to hold out for four days before we gave in to the pony ride. This years horse was Cindy. Much to our surprise the stable just gave us directions and said see you in 30 mins! Fairly uneventful as Cindy knew the route inside out. We did have a small scare with…

Windy on deck!
Or some might say a budding model shot “cue that wind machine”. This is one of the most expensive ferries in the world (apparently) since its only very short but costs a small fortune. Still it goes to Fanø which is a lovely spot.

Centre Parcs
Today was our last day of a long weekend at Centre Parcs. Maddie was absolutely in her element and it really is a great place for kids, not sure it was that great for adults (the food was terrible) but despite that Maddie is desperate to go back. This was her first attempt at roller…

Team Pink!
On our recent trip to Egypt Maddie made friends with Annabel. They were virtually inseparable for the time we were there and when they both wore these pink life jackets team pink was born. They really enjoyed playing on the inflatables on the beach and so it only seemed fair that they were allowed to…

Dad gets carried away with Sandcastle!
It just had to happen, I remember my Dad building some quite magnificent castles when I was young and walls across the beach to stop the tide! So last year we had a boat (and again this year on request) but we also had my first real stab at something more interesting than an upturned…

Maddie’s first pony ride
Despite the serious face Maddie assured us that she really enjoyed riding Amanda, for that was her name, and that she had merely been concentrating. Not that there was any chance of her falling off as it really was a gentle walk. She did look really cute perched on the saddle. Everytime we went past…

Maddie’s 2nd Ski Lesson
Finally the sun came out and normal service was resumed on the skiing front. Maddie has taken to skiing well although at this stage skiing really just means shuffling about on skis on very flat snow. Still you have to start somewhere. I’ve no doubt that give it a few years and she’ll be hurtling…
