Day Seven Hundred and Seventy-Seven

Friday 25th November 2016 - It was our last breakfast and Mummy wanted to capture how cheeky I was. Cute...

...cheeky...

...cheekier!

While we finished our breakfast, Mummy and Cheryl went for their last run through the forest. They said it was beautiful with the sun coming up through the trees

When they got back, everyone packed the stuff and put it back into the cars and it was time to say goodbye to our holiday home

I tried to run away but Clara came and got me and reminded me that we needed to get in our trailer and head to the swimming pool for a final swim before home

Today Mummy took her camera in so she could capture me splashing in the water...

...and playing with the taps.

There was time for an ice lolly by the pool and then it was time to head home.

What a great holiday.

Day Seven Hundred and Seventy-Six

Thursday 24th November 2016 - I've been drawing a lot this holiday. Mainly spirals and more spirals...

Mummy said I've suddenly become very good at drawing and sometimes, I just can't stop

Before we went out, we all snuggled on the sofa for stories with Cheryl

The hairy toe is our favourite

After a swim and lunch, Mummy said we were going to see Father Christmas

We explored his magical winter garden, which was full of singing reindeer and teddies

And there was a big sleigh to sit in

We went into his house where the elves were busy making the toys...

...and into the room where Father Christmas was, which was decorated with christmas trees and fairy lights

I told Father Christmas that I'd been a good boy and that I wanted rubble from paw patrol for christmas

He gave me a cuddly reindeer, who was so soft that I loved him instantly

We went back to the lodge (which I call the "holiday home") and watched tv, had stories...

...and then it was time for bed. For me and my reindeer.

Day Seven Hundred and Seventy-Five

Wednesday 23rd November 2016 - Today we got up and went for another swim and and explore

We found another adventure playground, where I loved climbing on everything...

...and across everything. Even the really high rope bridges

My favourite was this little house, where I sold ice-cream to Mummy. Until Clara and Poppy barged me out of the way

Then we went ten-pin bowling, which I had wanted to do since I got lost earlier in the afternoon and Mummy found me at the end of an unused bowling lane. Mummy had wanted to take a photo but a lady was watching and not approving of the fact that Mummy didn't run down the lane straight away to rescue me

The bowling was great fun. Clara helped with the balls and lining it up. I played about half a game until I got really tired...

...and then Mummy bought us all a slushy to perk us up

It worked. We went wild and terrorised the amusement arcade, while our Mummies got drunk and played the quiz machine!

Then it was home for a bath and bed. Who would have thought all of us fit in one bath?

Day Seven Hundred and Seventy-Four

Tuesday 22nd November 2016 - After breakfast today, we went out for an explore of the site

We wrapped up warm and got cycled around in our trailers. Every so often, Mummy would get off when there was a hill and I'd say "cycle Mummy'!

There were christmas decorations everywhere...

...and some of them were singing...

Which just made me want to dance...

...and everyone else danced too. In fact, it became our pre-swimming ritual!

After swimming, we went for lunch in the sports cafe, where there was soft play, arcades and and adventure playground outside

We popped to the shop for some supplies... and some haribo which I convinced Mummy we really needed

Then it was back to the lodge for some dressing up and stories...

...and some drawing. I really love drawing at the moment

Mummy took us out on the bikes to see the fireworks by the lake. Luckily she wrapped us up in my duvet because I fell fast asleep almost as soon as we left our cabin. Clara enjoyed them though!

Day Seven Hundred and Seventy-Three

Monday 21st November 2016 - Today we drove all the way to centre parcs in Woburn forest, where we stayed in a lodge with our friends. We had an explore and went to the amazing swimming pool and then it was back for dinner, tv, stories and bed. Only I was too excited to sleep and decided I was staying up with Mummy instead...
