Wasn't it absolutely gorgeous weather Saturday? It seems hard to believe that soon enough we will be October and be full on Autumn mode. It seems like summer wants to hold on a bit longer.
As we knew it was going to be such a nice day we want to make some plans. There is nothing worse trying to keep three little kids minds occupied in the summer heat and being inside. We are still trying to decorate our home as we are having new carpets laid in a few weeks time. So we wanted to take advantage and have a picnic at the park.
I don't know about you, But I'm fond of a good picnic and my kids love to take their lunchboxes too. As a family of five we are always looking for a budget friendly days out and a picnic in the park. It doesn't cost more than a loaf of bread and it's a winner with the kids.
So we made a little picnic, the girls got on their bikes and we headed off on our little adventure to the park. But before we headed off we decided to go get my sister, her husband and their beautiful little girl to join us so they could enjoy some fun too. It is always nice getting together for a little play date.
The park is a little walk from our home and the girls love to go and look for the fairies in the woods, I mean who doesn't love a fairy hunt. But it's only a short walk through the woods to the park. We are surrounded by a few parks and over the years they have become like a second home but we have recently discovered a new little park further away. It's pretty great, we all like climbing frames aa they are toddler height and you can chill on the bench while the kids go crazy as you know they are not going to get hurt. Even our little man can go and adventure on the slide, but I could tell on this trip to the park that he was starting to feel brave as he started to gout down the slide head first. He really knows how to keep me on my toes.
We got there around lunchtime and so the kids just went a little crazy after parking their bikes up. We were lucky as we had the park to ourselves which I can't be the only one who loves that! Us adults all took our seats on the bench while the kids got settled in. But then it was time for the adults to get involved.
My sister and I decided to go down the slides and swings, as we are big kids at heart. But most funniest thing happened was my sister thought she would get up on the climbing frame a through the tunnel that was built for small toddlers, and then she got a little stuck. However Lacie and Lily were both trying to pull her in and out of the tunnel. That was the Funniest moment. After all the fun on the slides, swings and climbing frames it was then time for lunch.
It was so hot that we needed more water, so my husband and my sisters husband took a trip to the shops and then came back with the water supplies, snacks and some ice pop which were well needed.
A little play and a game of the floor is lava as the little ones have an obsession with that game. it was time to head back home, we headed back through the wood and made sure that they kept an eye out for the fairies of course. It was such a lovely day.
