Wellington Country Park

Took the kids to Wellington Country Park just outside of Reading last Monday. Met up with Jenn & Nic there.

We had a fantastic day & will definately be going back there.

There were so many thkngs to do there that the kids didn't get bored at all. There was a toddlers play area with fun noise cushions that the kids enjoyed jumping on.

Unfortunately, Miss Charlotte fell off the cushions & grazed her knee, here's a pic of her just afterwards, feeling very sorry for herself.

Next the kids played on the wooden train, taking it in turns to be the driver....


Here's Lottie checking the engine as she thought it needed fixing.

Then we all had a go "driving" the blue tractor.

Then it was time for the adventure playground, lots of slides & balancing beams to play on.

We had a yummy picnic lunch, then while George had a nap in the buggy, Lottie & Nic spent almost an hour playing with the water troughs & the diggers...


Time for more walking around the park to see what we could find. After Nic rocketed down the biggest slide he has ever been on (Lottie was far too unsure to have a go!), he then found these fab tyre things that he spent ages going round in. He was a little unsteady on his feet afterwards!



We then walked around a corner to find Dino waiting for us in the trees. I had to go over & pat him to show Lottie that he wasn't real! She still wasn't too sure though & kept telling me he was moving!

She was a little more comfortable riding the horsey!

Last thing we did before leaving for home was a ride on the train. Funnily enough it was named Charlotte, just like our gorgeous little Madam.

One last visit to the adventure play area as it was by the entrance. Lottie & George found a little green caterpillar, which Lottie decided needed rescuing & putting back on a tree.

Then it was time for a Miss Charlotte melt down & tantrum as she reeeeeeeaaaallllly didn't want to go home! Oh well, she stopped soon after getting her in the car!
