What a perfect day!! We woke up this morning around 7am and Blue came through to remind us it was his birthday so we went downstairs, had Blues favourite brekkie Smoked Salmon with Scrambled eggs and then Alex came round for around 8am.
After Blue opened his cards and presents, we told the children that we were going to Pleasure Island and that we would be going on some rides and maybe even a roller coaster. They were super excited and we got in the car and headed off to Cleethorpes.
We had a voucher to get in for £11 each and the 2 youngest ones didnt have to pay as it's free for 3 and under. £33 for the 5 of us didnt seem bad although I wasn't expecting there to be an awful lot there for the younger ones.
First we went on a mini boat ride round a mock sweet factory (Tinkerboos sweet adventure water ride) which was brilliant, the kids loved it and it was nice to find a ride straight away that we culd all go on together. Afterwards Blue had a go on the dodgems with Daddy which he absolutely loved!
We had a look around and the kids went on various rides and into a play area which was really good and I was suprised that everything was positioned in a way that the older children could go on rides and there were smaller rides and play ares very close by so the younger ones werem't sitting around bored. Blue had a go on the Aquasphere which was basically one of those hamster balls, big enough for him to climb in, that you could walk on water on. This was brilliant and he had great fun although he didnt do much walking in fact he didnt really move of his belly for long!
I asked Blue if he fancied going on a pink knuckle ride with mummy and he exitedly agreed so went on the razzle dazzle which was really fun, we giggled the whole way round and Hayden turned to me halfway and said ''this is the best birthday ever'' so cute!!!
We went on a few other rides and the younger 2 went on lots of tea pot style rides and mini rollercoasters and Blue went on the mine train which he thought was ace.
We then went to Fatima's fish and chip shop which was lovely and great value too! We bought 4 x sausage and chips as the younget 2 shared and there was plenty for £3.50ish so that was excellent as i was half expecting the food and drink to eb expensive once we got in. It was only 60p for a captisun which I thought was really good as its more ezpensive at the local spar!
Anyway after a cracking day we came home and had tea with Gangang and Chrissy and Blue got to open a few more presents before bed time. Before bed though which ended up being really late and the kids finally headed up around 9.30 I realised how quickly the dark night were coming in, only 3 weeks ago me and daddy would be enjoying tea and a glass of wine in the garden after 9pm and the sun would still be out. Tonight at 9.15 Blue laid on the lawn watching the stars and it was pitch black!! How bizzare, this can only mean one thing... the Summers coming to an end and it will be back to school vry soon which makes me feel sad but then also the thought of cost evenings in and the approach to Christmas makes me feel quite sparky and happy.
So I go to bed now as a mummy of a 3 and 6 year old!! How come 6 sounds so much older than 5? :-(
