rich_jackoMy first week of holiday, and my sister and three nieces have been up to visit.
They arrived Monday lunchtime, settled in and we went to play in the park for a bit before Carly and I went to get food from the chippie in the evening.
On Tuesday, since the girls are all water babies, we hit the fun pool at Hillsborough Leisure Centre. The slides were disappointing but otherwise much fun was had. We went to the shops in the afternoon, and suffered a major tantrum from Sophie, but otherwise it was a successful day.
Wednesday was a full day at the Tropical Butterfly House, Wildlife and Falconry Centre, which I'd never been to before and was very impressed by. We met up with the Chivers there. It was a gloriously sunny day and there was lots to do.
On Thursday, Vick had arranged to meet her friend Cath at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park, another place I'd never been to before. Fortunately the weather held in spire of the rain warnings. There was much running around and climbing trees. We got back late afternoon, I gave Lauren her birthday presents (Minions!), and then the Chivers popped around briefly to play.
Vick and the girls left after breakfast this morning. They didn't want to go. It's been a really enjoyable (and packed) week. Missing them all already!
