I Need A Holiday

I need a holiday, well that is what I thought before I went on holiday with Debbie and the little ones to Butlins, it was so stressful. We all had great fun though even if Debbie and I were pulling our hair out trying to keep the little ones entertained. I know that Butlins is not the most exotic destination but it was nice and safe and there was plenty to keep the little ones entertained during their first holiday.

 To Start with little William was his usual self preferring to stand and watch rather than go on any rides but he soon found the swings. As he swung back and forth all you could here was his giggling scream of 'I'm Flying'. I really think though that they should install robotic swingers on the swings then at least I could sit down and read my book for half an hour, although I suppose pushing a swing must count as some form of exercise.

Half way through the holiday William suddenly decided that he did like the rides after all which was great, however for some reason whenever he went on a ride he held his ears which was quite amusing.

It did seem to be contagious though as by the end little Elizabeth started holding her ears to. It was great to see them on the rides together.

The Swimming pool was quit nice although as usual William screamed whenever he went into the water, that was until he discovered the slides and especially the large white one, which he couldn't stay off.

The highlight of the holiday though other than seeing the big smiles from the little ones was the opportunity to leave them in a nursery for a few hours one afternoon. Needless to say Debbie and I took the opportunity to have a nice leisurely and kiddie free lunch.

As much as I enjoyed the holiday, I must say it is true when they say that you need a holiday to recover from a holiday.
