What do we say when we have a nice day? HOORAH Pickles face was a picture when she came out of school Friday and saw nanny waiting for her, she ran to nanny and gave her a big kiss and cuddle,pickle loves her nanny steph so much, we headed for the train station and got the train home, when we got to nanny's Jacob was waiting for us, nanny looked exhausted from traveling to Sheffield and back in one day, so i suggested Jacob have a sleep over at mine with Issy. pickle and Jake liked the sound of that so we went home all got in our PJ's, made some pop corn and put a movie on after we had stuffed our faces and watched the movie i put pickle and Jake to bed, but before they would sleep they wanted to know what we would be doing the next day, so i suggested we head to London go on a duck tour (its an amphibious bus that takes you round London then drives into the river and becomes a boat) pickle and Jake were very excited about doing that, so in the morning we got ready and headed to the train station, on the way we stopped at nanny's to tell her what we had planned, when we got to London we walked towards the EYE and we saw the the duck tour vehicles Issy and Jake wanted to get straight on one but we had to go buy tickets first, we got on our tour bus it was called Mistress quickly and set of round London sight seeing, then after about an hour we drove down a ramp straight into the river Thames with a big splash Issy and Jake thought it was so cool, after the tour finished we went to eat on the south bank at a place called giraffe Issy and Jake got a balloon each and let them go half way across the millennium bridge, as we walked across the bridge we spotted a load of broken skate boards below it was cemetery where kids chucked there boards when they were broken, we carried on walking to covent garden and look at all the street performers, time was getting on and i had to get Jake back, to go to his dads so we hired a rickshaw to take us pickle and Jake liked that as much as the tour, we all had such a great time and all shouted HOORAH

Spending 3 and a half weeks together this summer was amazing, pickle, Jake, Sarah and i went to Haven caravan park for 5 days. it was the first time i had stayed at a caravan park and i thought it was great, each day we all went to the beach in the morning, crabbing and catching lots of shrimp and fish as well, it was great fun pickle and Jake absolutely loved it, it was magic to see them laughing especially when Jake went to pick up a shrimp and it started flapping around, he let out a big squeal and we all laughed, pickle was picking up fish and shrimps not scared at all, then before heading back to the site pickle and Jake would put the fish and shrimps back in the water then they would let the crabs go on the beach and watch them race to the sea, one day they had more than 20 crabs to set free it was so funny watching the kids laughing as the crabs all scurried back the the water. when we were back at the site we spent most of our time in the pools one indoor and one out door, pickle and Jake love swimming and its great to see how well they get around the pool with there floats they can get all the way from one end to the other without any help, in the evenings we would all play bingo then Issy and Jake would join in the kids play time and dance at the disco. it was great Issy and Jake asked if we could go there again next summer.
