Fruit Picking....3 in the basket... 1 in the mouth!

Today, Kayle, Mum, Linda and Lillie went fruit picking! It was so much fun! We drove to this awesome farm that grows EVERYTHING and hit the fruit. We went for the raspberries first!
It was really sunny so we had to make sure we were all protected from the sun, especially me!

Kayle and Lillie were ready to go!

And they were off... the were picking the low ones and I was picking the high ones!
We had a motto... every time we put 3 raspberries in the pot, we could eat one! We were stuffed!

We had a quick drink and snack break and then it was on to the Strawberries!

We made our way to, what we thought was the only strawberry patch... to find it picked bare! So, we picked a few almost ripe ones and decided to head home. As we were leaving, we saw a lady with a huge pot of delicious red ripe strawberries... come to find, there is another HIDDEN strawberry patch just over the road! So, we head over there!

By this time, Kayle and Lillie had just about had enough so they entertained themselves by playing in the dust and stones while Mum and I picked the strawberries.
Needless to say, they were tired by the end of the day!

We thought everyone should sample the products before we paid for them!

Once we were all done paying, we headed to ths fantastic local pub for a yummy lunch!
All in all, another GREAT day out!

Injection Treat

My precious girl had to have an immunisation injection today. Now she is almost caught up... I was absolutely petrified for her because I didn't want her to cry and get upset...

We went into the doctors and Kayle thought we were there for me to see the doctor. The doctor got the injection ready and I held Kayle tight... she said 'no... no...' and then... 'boom' it was done and she didn't cry at all!

Because she as so brave she got 2 really cool stickers and a great cake with sprinkles on top, which, as you can see, she really enjoyed!!
Only 1 more injection left and we are all done! Yeah!

Hide N Seek brightens up food shopping!

Kayle and I went to Tesco's (the grocery store) with my Mum yesterday to get some essentials. To make it a little more fun and to make the time go faster.... we decided to play hide n Seek...
First I found Kayle hiding in among the Baked beans....


But I had trouble finding her this time....

Bestest surprise ever...

Last Saturday, we took Kayle to Peppa Pig World as a surprise. Auntie Pauline got us a family ticket for my birthday so that we could all have a really fun family day out.

Kayle had no idea where we were going... all she knew was that we ad to go in the car for a bit and then she would get a surprise... when we drove in the gate and she saw the Peppa Pig World sign, she freaked out and started screaming! So fun!

We got parked and headed over to the entrance to meet Hannah, Thea, Rachel and Gabrielle for our fun day out. Once, the others arrived, we headed straight for Peppa Pig World.

First thing we see if Grandpa pig standing there greeting us as we walked in! Kayle was so excited to see him! She ran over to him and was shouting "Grandpa Pig... Grandpa Pig!"

Then, she turns around to see Mrs. Rabbit right next to her!
I knew our day out was going to be fun...

We headed for our first ride... Miss. Rabbits helicopter Ride... we weren't sure how all the kids were going to react to the rides but they all did really well. Kayle and Thea had the best time on the rides, but the lining up was not as fun!
They did well to stay patient but the line for this ride was quite long... It took us about half hour to get to the front...

Once on, all was fine... Kayle decided she wanted to sit in the back with Grandad while Granny and I sat in the front. Daddy was taking his turn to look after the pushchair. Thea, Hannah, Rachel and Gabrielle went on the helicopter in front of us, but Gabrielle decided he didn't want to go on and so took his Mummy for a walk instead!!

Next stop... Peppa Pigs House!! We weren't sure what to expect when we walked in but it was really fun! There was a large moving set from one of the cartoons... the characters were talking and moving and everything... fun to watch and looked amazing! The kids loved it!

Then... onto the Dinosaur ride... by this time the kids were getting a little restless so we decided that this was to be the last ride before lunch! Jason took Kayle on this ride because he had to sit out the last one. They had so much fun going on this one.

We all sat at the picnic tables and had our yummy lunch and then out the corner of our eye, we see Peppa and George saying hello to people! So, we ran over to see them... at first it was fun, but then Kayle got a little scared! They were extremely large and intimidating! Kayle didn't want to go near them... so we took some photos from a distance!

After everyone had eaten their lunch, Grandad got his treat for the day! He took us round to the ice cream booth and we all got a delicious ice cream or lolly! Needless to say, that kept the kids happy for 10 minutes!

We decided to hit Grandpa Pigs train ride and Daddy Pigs car ride next!

Hannah, Thea and I went on the train ride together! The girls had so much fun singing while we were going around!

Grandad and I took the girl on the car ride to give the others a rest... their driving was very good! They had so much fun "driving Grandad around."

The set around the car ride was amazing... everything down to the finest detail was prefect! They had so many random characters just everywhere! So well done!

The girls were having so much fun together... they were cuddling all the time! So cute to see!

Next ride... Peppas Balloon Ride... it was Hannah and Granny's turn to take the kids this time!
There was lots of spinning involved in this ride!

It was then time to say goodbye to Thea, Hannah, Rachel and Gabrielle... the kids were getting tired and so they decided to head home. We had such a wonderful day with them!

We continued onto the next ride... it wasn't part of the Peppa Pig World but was really close by so we ran on it quickly. It was a fun tractor ride... It was Granny and Grandad's turn for this one.


The whole of Peppa Pig World has been designed so well... even the roof of the shop/ restaurant/ play structure has a garden growing on it! Genius!

Almost done with the Peppa Pig World rides... just 2 more to go... Daddy's turn this time for the Daddy Pig Boat Ride!


Last ride of the day in Peppa Pig World... The Windy Castle... this one was actually a little scary! It went really high up in the air and did a lot of spinning! I was more nervous than Kayle though! She had a blast looking out the side at the world below!

(I had enough courage for one photo at the top and that was it!
I had to hold on the rest of the time!)

Once we had see and done everything in Peppa Pig World, we headed to the little train that goes around the outside of the World... it was fun to see it from a different perspective.

Daddy with his silly glasses on!
Once we were completeyl done with the 'kiddy rides' we literally RAN over to the 'Mummy and Daddy rides so that us 'adults' could get in a few rides before the park closed. Jason and I ran onto The Cobra Roller coaster and it was so much fun! So, once we were done, Granny and Grandad ran onto it too! Granny literally screamed the whole way round... Kayle was laughing so hard while we watched and listened from below!

Then we ran to get on the water ride before it closed. We all went on this. Kayle was snuggled up in Jason's lap and only cried because she got wet... not because of the huge drop at the end! She said she enjoyed it!

We ended our day by heading into Winchester for something to eat. It was extremely busy but we managed to get a table in Zizi's. Yummy! We had the most delicious dinner, with a fab waitress who spoiled Kayle with ice cream and crayons, but the best part of our evening was when a church choir who was in the restaurant for dinner started singing! It was amazing! they were so good and everyone enjoyed it so much, that the other customers kept asking for requests!

All in all, an absolutely wonderful day out with the family!

Biggest Toy Shop EVER....

Jason and I decided to head into London last weekend to hang out and to take Kayle to the BIGGEST TOY SHOP EVER - Hamley's!

Kayle didn't know where we were going... we got there are walked in the front door and she just screamed! She was running around looking at all the teddy's and toys!

The best bit was when Kayle decided that she loved the teddy's so much, she wanted to sit with them!!


We carried on looking around the 4 story toy shop! Kayle loved playing with the little animals!

She also had lots of fun in the Barbie section... she has been playing with my Barbie Dolls a lot recently!

After we had walked around the shop for a few hours, we were all hungry and so found this great little restaurant off Oxford Street!

Kayle chose the kids pizza... it was huge! But she managed to eat 80% of it! The ladies sat next to us had a blast watching her eat it all!


Needless to say, she got a yummy bowl of chocolate ice-cream for dessert!

We all had a fun time on our day out!

Fun with Mummy...

Kayle and I were bored a few mornings ago and wanted something to do... so, we decided to play silly faces with the camera!




Fun times with my baby girl!
