With Mette off visiting her friend in Paris, Maddie and I were left to our own devices this weekend so what else but a trip to Aquasplash, her first ever 10 pin bowling game, a bit of shopping, and a trip to Willows Farm.
Her swimming is coming on a treat as is her confidence in the water, it wasn’t long ago that she didn’t like the fountains and water jets (she’s always liked the slides!) but now she loves them and can now jump in from the side without me to catch her.
The 10 pin bowling was funny, not quite as easy in real life as it is on the Wii although the ramp to roll the ball down certainly helps.
Willows Farm (less of a Farm – more of a Kids Adventure Playground / Funfair) is definitely one of Maddie’s favourite outings and as with the swimming has the added advantage of making her quite tired! She has now mastered the vertical drop slides on her own with the immortal words “I was brave enough wasn’t I!”
