Easter holiday to Disneyland

The Easter holiday is over, Pickle and i had so much fun the time just flew by, On the way home after i collected pickle from school she told me how excited she was about going to disney land and wanted to know how many sleeps until we go, i told her we had 4 sleeps to go but before we go to disney land but before we go we are going shopping for some new clothes at westfield, pickle loves shopping for new clothes, we had a lovely day at the shopping mall pickle chose some beautiful new clothes and we had lunch at pizza express. the next day we went to chessington for the first time this year and took Jacob with us, it was great fun the sun was shinning and the park wasn't to busy so we got to go on lots of rides pickle and jacob went on the bungie trampolines pickle did a back flip, and we all watched the new madagascar show it was a great day. Monday night pickle was so excited about going to disney the next morning that she fell asleep straight after tea, in the morning we headed into london to meet Sarah and Jacob and to get the train to disney we arrived at st pancras i had a coffee while we waited for Sara and Jake then we all boarded the Euro star, when we arrived at Disney the sun was shinning we went and checked into the hotel, it was amazing our room was great, we dumped our bags and headed straight into the park it wasn't as busy as i thought it would be witch was great as we didn't have to wait long to get on the rides we spent the afternoon in the park going on many rides then we went back to our room and got changed and went out to dinner before going to watch the day show and fire works display, we all slept well that night, in the morning after breakfast we started the day in the disney studio park there were some great rides like the star wars space flight and buzz light year, after lunch pickle put on her rapunzel costume and we went back to the main park and watch the parade it was great all the caracters from the disney movies were there, after the parade we went back on the rides, the pirates of the carabian was one of our favourites, we went on a ride called thunder mountain none of us really knew what to expect and we were surprised when it took off so fast, it was the first real roller coaster pickle and Jacob had been on, i was worried it might scare pickle but she was loving it, i could hear Sarah laughing in the carage behind us, i turn to see what she was laughing at and saw Jacob holding his hand on his chest saying i want to get of im having a heart attack, when the ride finished pickle said i want to do it again and jake said never again, we went to the rain forest restraunt for dinner there were life size anamatronic elephants in there, then we watched the evening show and fire works again before heading back to the hotel. on the last day the weather turned a bit wet and cold but we still had fun before setting off home, we went on another roller coaster even jake :)

WOW!! the weekend flew by, got to pickles school 30 mins early so i could have a look through the stuff Issy's been doing since she started, it was so nice to be able to see it all, when i picked pickle up she had a teddy with her, she called him weekend ted and told me he had a diary with him so we could write about his weekend with us, we headed to the station and got the train home, after having tea we watched a movie and pickle asked if she could sleep in the living room on the sofa, i told her she could and lay with her until she was asleep, in the morning pickle came in to me and woke me up i couldn't believe my eyes when i looked at the time, it was only 6:30am she climbed into my bed and played with the ipad while i got a bit more sleep, only a bit mind Issy wanted me to get up because she was excited about going to the hairdressers to get her hair cut, so after we had breakfast we walked to the hairdressers pickle asked to have her hair cut to shoulder length i was a bit apprehensive but agreed, i sat with ted while Issy had a wash cut and blow dry she absolutely loved being treated like a big girl, my doubts were soon forgotten, when it was finished pickle looked beautiful, we went to nanny's to meet Jacob Sarah and Richie then headed to brocketts farm, where Karen and Anabelle met us it was a beautiful day the kids played and fed the animals pickle even held a snake and they all had a ride on a pony, i got some great pics of the day, when we got home pickle picked out a dress to wear to her friend Emily's birthday sleep over, she looked gorgeous in it with her new hair do, after taking her there and watching pickle give Emily her birthday present i headed home and got some sleep, in the morning i went to collect Issy and here all about the sleep over, when i got there Issy was eating her breakfast, she told me that they had played games like musical statues and they had there faces painted and it had been a lot of fun, then she said Sophie, Emily's sister had got chicken spots, Emily's mum said they came up in the night, Emily and Sophie usually go to stage school on Sunday but wouldn't be able to go now, Issy said thank you for a lovely time and hope to see you again soon then we headed to nanny's we got to spend an hour with nanny before we had to leave for our train, it was a fantastic weekend, but as usual it was over to quick, i sent pickle her weekly card with pictures in of our time together she should get it in the morning post.............
