Our stay at Grandad and Nana Dawn's

We went to stay at my dad's and Dawn's over the Easter week, as I thought it would help take the Children's mind of Paul going on tour. At my dad's the house is always full of people and very busy so I knew they wouldn't have time to get upset. We did lots of fun things, apart from the Easter egg hunt on Easter Sunday, the activity the kids enjoyed the most was going to Carding mill valley(http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/main/w-cardingmillvalleyandlongmyndwere) were they put their wellies on and splashed in the water, counted sheep, walked Ollie and Dawn's new puppy, and just have fun with Nathan. I love Carding mill valley, when I lived at home I would visit here loads with my family, then as I got older I would visit with friends and go for walks and picnic's. I really enjoyed taking the kids there as its somewhere I loved as a child.

This is Oscar Dawn's new puppy. When we stopped to have a rest and let Ollie play in the lake, Oscar decided he needed a rest too and found the perfect spot... Ethan's back and then Megan's. Well I guess it is more comfortable than the hard floor!

Thanks Dad and Dawn for the great visit, the food, the bed, the Easter eggs - which did help with the weight loss!! Thanks
