Summer Family Fun

The Summer holidays have drawn to a close and what a fantastic summer it has been. I am exhausted just thinking about all of the fantastic adventures we have been on. I am glad the girls are back at school now at least I can have a short break from our fun packed lifestyle each week.

Mark Warner holidays and Kiddicare have teamed up to ask some of us parent bloggers to recap all of the Summer family fun we have had and in return one of us will win a fantastic holiday. Well it would be rude not to enter wouldn’t it?

With this being the first ever summer that I have been home and not working and with Elizabeth’s treatment going really well we have been here, there and everywhere trying to cram as much fun on the sun as we could into 6 short weeks.

The schools break up, all the parents scream
The children run and dance and eat ice cream
The mums and dads start to pull out their hair
Six weeks with the kids at home it isn’t fair!Six weeks of fantastic fun, I say to mine
Six weeks of summer come rain or shine
Forty three days to spend all together
To fill with adventures whatever the weather.

The summer is over and school has begun
It is time to think back on all of that fun
We visited toy fairs and played with the toys
Lots for the girls and more for the boysWe went to London to see some art
Lots of new Moshi Monsters and one like a heart
We saw Mickey Mouse and friends on the stage
I would recommend it whatever your age


Picture

We went bowling together just us girls
Celebrating our goes with whirls and twirls
Nickelodeon land next to see Poppy Cat
Went on lots of rides now fancy that!Spent time with cousins and Nanny too
Trips to London, and even the zoo
We built some dens in a London Park
Made ours in a tree it was ever so dark.

We got shoes we could draw on that are really cool
Unfortunately we not allowed them for school
The Space Centre was awesome with lego galore
Although most of the lego ended up on the floorWe saw Smurfs 2 the movie in a private screen
All whilst trying some fab new ice creams
We ate Hotdogs at the safari park and met a tv star
Then the monkeys were cheeky and broke our car


Picture

We went to Warwick castle to meet a princess
And Alison refused to put on a dress
To Butlins we traveled for a weekend of fun
With circus and Skyline gang and lots of sunWe were sad to leave Billy and all our Redcoat friends
We will be back there before the year comes to an end.
A week more with Nanny meant even more places
With legoland and the farm making happy faces


Picture

We took teenagers down to Thorpe Park for the day
We had loads of fun as we all went our own way
The big kids wents off for silly big rides
We did the small ones and played on the slides.Harry Potter studios was booked for us all
Spellbounding things we saw in the hall
Lollibop was next with so much to see
We all kept busy a success whooppee

A night at the Cavendish we slept in the beds
Our fun fill summer whooshing through our heads
More adventures tomorrow we dreamy through the night
Sealife Centre, London eye and Big Ben what a sight!

A week back at home but it doesn’t end there
The Chill Factore, Old Trafford and Food to share
The summer is nearly coming to an end
A few last adventures to share with our friendsSome parties for Alison as she turns four
She gets lots of presents and then even more
A day at the beach with Daddy as well
Then off to the Ice Show now isn’t that swell

Gullivers World for more adventures to share
Spin me fast and fast the girls shout for a dare
Our last day together to finish the Holiday
Preparing the uniforms for our first school day

The Summer is over and what fun we have had
The kids are back to school please don’t be sadIts only 8 weeks till the next holidays begin
So more days of fun to plan with a grin.


We had an amazing summer in the UK making up for all those days that Elizabeth has spent in hospital and all of the days she has felt crap. I look forward to being able to spend many more school holidays as a family enjoy ourselves and making the most of each and every da
