Blair Drummond Safari park

Today we went to a safari park near Perth with Grant and Sally. Adam and Jake had a great time driving through the park. We had a very ice day walking around to see the animals. We went on a boat to see the monkeys who live on an island. We saw some giraffes, elephants... Adam, Ben and Jake ran around all day!
We all had fun on the big slide!! The kids loved it. I was a bit scared at first!!!

Horrid Henry...

On Saturday, Adam asked me to buy him a book called Horrid Henry. On the way to Whispnade, I read him some stories about Horrid Henry and his younger brother Perfect Peter. We were laughing saying how Adam is horrid Henry and Jake is Perfect Peter as he looks so sweet...
We got it all wrong...Jake is Horrid Henry and Adam is Perfect Peter...Check the it out!!!



Lovely memories...

Whispnade Zoo

Last Sunday, we spend the day at Whispnade Zoo. We had a lovely time. The boys enjoyed looking at the animals. Jake was very curious and impressed by some of the animals. He loved the monkeys and the giraffes. he kept saying "big, big" as he saw the giraffes. Jake loved the train so we went for a train ride and he was very excited. He enjoyed being able to look around.






We saw the hippos which looked so big!!! I think Adam thought they were the best as we saw one doing a huge POO!!!! That was probably the best part of the day for Adam!!!

I love the Zoo. It is so relaxing to walk around and have little halts for coffee overseeing the animals.
I only wish they would not allowed cars around the park as you can not let the children run around quite as you wish!

My 3 men in my life having so much fun!

Jimmy's Farm

On the way back from our camping week end, we decided to stop at jimmy's farm. As the new series "Crisis on Jimmy's Farm" has been on TV, we decided to go there to see all the new additions to the farm like the woodland trial, the vegetable garden and the guinea pig. We ended up spending about 3 hours there. We had a lovely coffee and sausage burger sitting in the herbs garden. Jake soon spotted the scarecrow and he went to sit with them. he ended up taking one arm off...Oops!!



Then we went to see the animals: pigs, cows, sheep's, chicken, ducks...and the famous guinea pigs. The guinea pigs houses look great. Dolly was there showing the children the guinea pigs and helping them to hold them. he is such a nice man and he know how to deal with the children if they are unsure about holding the guinea pigs.




Then we went for a walk in the wood. The children enjoyed it so much, Jake walked all the way. He loved being able to walk around. Adam and Ollie enjoyed learning the names of the trees.

We bought some sausages which were yummy! It is a lovely way to spend a nice Sunday afternoon and the children loved it! They even feed the cow with Martin! They were so brave...

Back to School...Year 2!!!!

Today Adam is going back to school. The years are going so quickly. It seems like Adam started school only yesterday! My big boy is starting Year 2!!! He should be getting more homework this year.
Adam is very excited about going back and seeing his friends especially his girlfriend Joanna. His teacher is called Miss Arthur and his teacher's assistant Mrs Green. Adam met his teacher last year in tops play and he really likes her which is great!
Good Luck Adam!!!



..."Mum!, Hurry up, I will be late!" Every year, I get the same comment and Adam can never give me a lovely natural smile!!!...Maybe next year!

Water Park...

Bank Holiday week end....What a great weather we had! The kids played in the garden with George (Their nephew!!!) who came to see us. It was lovely to see them playing together. George wants to copy Adam and Jake wants to copy George....so they all end up running after each others!!!
On the Bank Holiday Monday, we took the children to the prom for a little play. They ended up playing in the water park. The water park is great for the children, they had so much fun. Adam played with Ollie and Phoebe while Jake was having fun drinking the water...Check it out!!!

Surfing...

Summer Fun...

Scooby-Doo....

The day before we left for France, Adam and Jake received a present from their sister Nicky. They both got matching swimming short with Scooby-Doo on. Adam loves his short so much that he put them straight on!!! That night, we were going to the hairdressers so Adam ended up wearing his swimming short! Jake loves having the same than his big brother, he looked so proud!
Two Little Boys....on the Beach.

Summer Vacation

Holidays always go so so so quickly!!! We had such a lovely time. It is so nice to see the children having so much fun on the beach. Adam loved playing with his new body board while Jake was playing in the sand watching his big brother. Jake never missed an occasion to take the board and wonder to the sea with it

Ile de Re, France...

Tomorrow morning, we are going to France for two weeks. We are going with Steve and Louise. We will meet my mum there and my brother will come and visit us with his family. We are going by car which takes a very long time!!! We will get there on Saturday. Tomorrow we will take the ferry, drive past Paris and stop for the night in an hotel in Tours. We will then finish the journey on Saturday!

Adam was so excited tonight that he could not go to sleep....It is going to be great!!! Jake should love the sand. He might not eat it this year!!! I took these photos in March as I spent a week end there in a Spa. It was a birthday treat!

Now the sky should be blue and the beach crowded!

Au Revoir! A Bientot!!!

Thinking of you...

My friend Sue is not very well. She had to go to hospital last week and tomorrow she is going to have a major operation.

So last week, I decided to scrap a special card for her to tell her that I will be thinking of her.

I have been thinking of her every day wondering how she is doing. I am very worried for her.

But I know she is very strong so she will be fine.

Good luck Sue and get well very soon. I am thinking of you.xxx

PS: Can't wait to be able to scrap with you again!!!
