Last weekend, while Colin was away, we went on a little trip to Beale Park Wildlife Park and Gardens with my parents. After waving Daddy off, eating cereal for breakfast, packing a bag and a quick clean of the kitchen, it only took us about half an hour to drive to the park. Little man fell asleep on the way, but I woke him with a kiss after a while, so we could start our adventure.
Go, go, go.
Daniel decided he was no longer a baby, he didn;t need to sit in his pushchair, rather walk alongside (or way in front) splashing in puddles. Ridiculously, we didn't come prepared with wellington boots, but Daniel was a diamond and came straight out of any puddles I told him were too big, searching for another. He had so much fun, running from puddle to puddle, animal to animal, exploring.
Holding hands with Grandad. Be still, my heart.
We saw a great variety of animals, some so bizarre I've forgotten their names, and Daniel waved & smiled at everyone. Though his favourites were the rabbits and the monkeys, not the birds.
We went on a little train, I held tight to my little man as he turned his head back and forth to see the animals on either side. He yelled "choo-choo", so exited about the ride.
The little mounds of mud were obviously one of the highlights of the day, as were the chips for lunch...
My brave boy fed the little baby ducks, taking feed from Grandad;s hands and poking it though the fence, giggling when they quacked & gobbled it up.
We came to an area for picnics, with benches, deer and even a zip-line swing! Definitely a hit. Nanny and Grandad took it in turns to run back and forth, listening to their grandson giggling. They would do anything for that kiddo.
Once we had seen all the anmimals, and someone started to get a little grumpy, we headed for the park on the way out. A park with slides, swings and a giant sandpit. Nanny and Daniel played for quite a while with a spade and a cup, making castles!
Thankyou, Nanny and Grandad, for a lovely day out. Let's do it again soon!
Lots of Love
