Granny's 60th - Part One

Brenda is 60 on the 9th September so she is doing a fair bit of celebrating which is only right!

So this weekend she took us all away for the weekend to Great Yarmouth (well Scratby to be precise). There was, Brenda, Steve, Me & our two plus Kirstie, Phil, Ollie & Molly. Oh and John of course!

We were staying in a little holiday camp called Summerfields and our little chalets were perfect and all in a row. Ben and Molly couldn't believe their luck at being so close together and we all had great fun popping round each others "houses".

So what did we get up to?...


Friday 5th
Well we arrived on Friday evening and after a very, very quick unpack it was off to the kids disco. All the kids had a great time dancing & playing party games as well as having a go in the soft play area.





Straight after the disco it was quick costume change and then downstairs to the main bar area for the kids fancy dress competition. Amy was in 7th heaven as the judge of the competition was Elle the Elephant - her face was an absolute picture.

We stayed in the bar that night for the show which was a really good tribute band. Unfortunately Ben passed out about 9ish but Amy managed to keep going until about 10pm and then we all headed for bed, leaving Kirstie, Brenda & John to enjoy the 2nd act.

Saturday 6th
On Saturday morning Brenda did us all a lovely spread for breakfast - including Bacon, sausage, eggs & beans which was no mean feat for all those mouths in a tiny little kitchen. After breakfast, the kids had great fun playing in the outdoor playground zooming down the slide and generally having a blast.

Then we headed to the seafront for a Maritime exhibition which just happened to be on that weekend in Yarmouth. The kids had great fun looking at the ships and they all made a little glitter covered crab to take home. Amy had great time meeting Beach Bunny (the mascot from the local radio station) and the highlight of the trip for me was when she pounced on him from out of his field of vision and completely took him out!

Ben & Ollie had fun playing on the Navy recruitment stand - honestly that's a lolly not a fag in his mouth I promise!!

Unfortunately, the weather then turned a bit grim on us so we headed back for lunch and then a lovely swim in the pool.



That evening it was party games (again with Elle) and we all had fun doing the hokey cokey!! The entertainment that evening was an adult magicians act which was a bit over the heads of the kids (thankfully!) but the adults enjoyed it.






Sunday 7th
Brenda did us another lovely spread for breakfast and we enjoyed a game of crazy golf and another swim before having Sunday lunch. The afternoon was spent in the soft play area and playing in the grassed area outside out chalets.

We left about 6pm with Kirstie & Phil not far behind and both girls putting on a good display of their displeasure at leaving!!
