An afternoon at the park

It's been a week now since we moved and we are still waiting for

the kids to get a new school. What a nightmare, never thought it would be such a

long process for them to change schools.

To keep them entertained we took them to the country park for an afternoon.

First stop was the playground of course.

They did a bit of climbing, a bit of swinging and some sliding.

Needless to say they absolutely love it there.

When they were all played out we went for a walk around the lake.

The lake is just beautiful and alongside it runs a small river with

lots of bridges and waterfalls.

 My kids can't get over a bridge without playing pooh sticks.

 You ever played this?

You each drop a stick one side of the bridge and whoevers stick

is first on the other side is the winner.

Great game.

First task was to find a suitable stick of course.

Notice how Emily's stick resembles a log next to mine and Dylan's stick!

I'm guessing she was hoping to win.

No such luck for Emily though, Dylan was the clear winner this time.

We were hoping to see some ducklings but I'm guessing the were all

hiding with their mommy ducks.

All the daddy ducks were showing off and begging for bread.

Do ducks beg, is there even such a thing?

When we came to a throne cut out of a log the kids thought

they were in Narnia. Surely this was made for their kings and queens.

Such royalty!

Further along the way was another little stream where Emily

wanted to look for some precious rocks.

She just loves collecting them, every time we go for a walk she collects

about a pocket full of them.

Rocks found, mission accomplished.

By then it had started to rain which made the forest smell so nice.

I love nature scents like that.

So off home we went.

We had a brilliant afternoon.

Go and have yourself a brilliant afternoon as well
