Happy New Year 2008

Happy New Year to you all.

We are returned from our New Year's break at Butlins in Bognor Regis and we enjoyed it so much we booked whilst we were there for new year!!!

So I am now part of the Butlins Family apparently. I never expected to like it so much but it is perfect for the age our kids currently are and it was definitely the most enjoyable New Year's Eve I've had in a long time.

So what happened....

Well we arrived midday on the 30th December and met up with Paula, Gav, Evie & Morgan. We then set about exploring the place.

It was heaven for Ben with a life size Bobsville (this is where Bob the Builder lives for those not in the know) and there were live Bob stage shows about 3 times a day.





There was also a funfair outside & smaller kids rides inside - all completely free which was a welcome change.










On New Year's Eve we managed to find a table in the Skyline (the main arena) and the night's activities started at 6.30pm with all the kiddie-themed events - kids disco & some crowd called the Skyline gang who kept them all amused.

This seamlessly merged into more adult events from around 10pm when the tribute acts started.

Ben crashed out first and Morgan put up a brave fight but he finally flaked out in the buggy with Ben.

The girls did really well with Amy seeing her first ever New Year's Eve countdown. She paid for it the next couple of day though and has tonight gone to bed at 6.15pm - she is shattered.

All in all it was a very good new year. I wonder what 2008 has in store for us eh!
