Our friend Daniel came over to visit on Saturday afternoon/evening and the kids were thrilled to see him. He seems to have a natural way with kids and they had great fun clambering all over him and making him swing them upside down!After they went to bed we had a nice civilised adult evening and it was really enjoyable.
On Sunday it started to rain and it didn't let up until Bank Holiday Monday but more about Sunday... My Dad has supported Blackpool Football Club since he was about 11 years old and it was dream come true on Sunday to got to the new Wembley Stadium and watch them win the match which saw them promoted into the Champions League.
Steve and Alison went along for the trip and Steve was happy enough to support Blackpool during the match - I am not so sure how things will go once they have their first game against Ipswich - that could be pretty interesting!!
On Monday we went to The Glazed Look pottery painting studio which is a very enjoyable rainy day activity and then we returned home and spent the rest of the day up in the playroom whilst it continued to pour outside.
Today we were supposed to be meeting Kirstie and her crew at Maldon to play in the splash park but the weather was so rotten that was out of the question. We tried to stick it out for a bit but after we had to eat our picnic in the car because it was so cold and windy I phoned Kirstie and they all come round ours for the afternoon.In other news we have our Venture photo back from my Mum's 60th birthday shoot and it's really lovely.
Here's the overall picture
and this one is my favourite because it feels like we spend most of our lives chasing after Ben!!
