Saturday's children have plenty of adventure

Saturday's children have plenty of adventure

I'm in charge for the day so we head off to Telford Town Park with the bikes and a picnic.

We start off in the library, as we're to return some books, and I hope get some more out, though Esme is never keen, ever since that day when we were fined. Came to 26 pence, I believe! Oh! The ignominy!

But she settles down and picks quite a number of books. Mainly fairy stories and other girly stuff.

library Brad

Brad too find some nice alien, witches and monster books to read.

We settle down for the picnic, though not many sandwiches are eaten by the kids, I have to mop up, as I suspected. And they settle on crisps and other junk. Though Bradley does eat a carrot stick, as above.

Had to go on the trampoline, as I was so cruel to not let Bradley go on the lady bird ride on the fair, and he asked and asked over and over for about 20 minutes, as he cried his way to these rides.

bradley whizzes down slide

Can I go on there? He asked, amid the floods of false tears/ Sure. And thank goodness he shuts up. Though it takes ages for him to climb the rope ladder up, he manages to get 4 or 5 goes.

About half way down the slide, his face changes to one of horror as I think he realises that he's going to come off the end. When he does stand up, he first looks back up the slide, as if to check that he really did it, then at me with the widest eyes and grin.

Bradley with new friend at the pub

We meet up with Amanda and go to the Church Wickets, the local pub with a good garden, intending to burger it. But too busy.

Bradley and Esme pick up a new friend called Zoe, who they play hid and seek with. But she's not very good at counting and peeks all the time, nevertheless they don't want to leave her and give big goodbye hugs.
