Bradgate Park

A beautiful Friday morning, the sun is shining and after completing some small tasks (like collecting my contact lenses) we headed off to Bradgate Park.
The park was quite busy with lots of families taking advantage of the lovely weather to take the children pond fishing.
As we walked along the young deer were very happily plodding around, at one point it felt like I was being stalked.

This one was definitely following me....

I love this part of the river

Twycross Zoo

Well we are all off to the Zoo, well Michael and I are taking Amber, Phoebe and Joshua to Twycross. I hope we have a good day and that Matt and Zoe will have some quiet time with Tobias.
Although it was cloudy we had hoped to avoid the rain but come the middle of the day it poured down so we headed to the indoor play. Had some lunch and then we let the kids loose on the soft play area.
Of course that sounds simple to you realise they had to wear socks and the girls weren't, so off to the shops for a pair of socks each!!!
However after the play the weather cleared and we headed back into the zoo. A good time was had by all but there three weary grandchildren and two weary grandparents at the end......
