A quick trip to the park with the boys

As it was so nice out yesterday, I walked to the park with the boys. I thought we would go to the big park with lots of toys, and ducks. But BoyG insisted on going to the small playground in the park at the end of our road because he wanted to play on the helicopter!

It was windy and cold once we were out so we didn't stay long, but BoyG loved it anyway. He played on everything, including the helicopter! BabyG was tired and just stayed laying down in the buggy this time.

Hopefully the sun will come with us next time!

A walk in the park - feeding the ducks and playing on the toys

I like to take the boys out of the house but we always seem to end up in the soft play areas which are fine, but it can get expensive and I think BoyG gets bored of them fairly quickly if he goes too often. So I'm always looking for different ideas.

We have started going to the park to feed the ducks once a week. I go and buy a reduced or supermarkets own brand loaf of bread and we head over to Chantry Park. We feed the ducks some of the bread. I can get the bread that is reduced as it needs to be eaten that day but i can't take mouldy bread as a lot of it ends up in BoyG!!

There is a nice playground there which BoyG loves to run about in. He has a go on everything and if we haven't arranged to meet any of his friends there, then he quickly makes some new friends with the other children.

BabyG is still too small for playing in the park and it is still a little cold for him but he is wrapped up warm and all cosy in the buggy so he usually just has a snooze while I watch BoyG have all the fun. I'm sure it won't be too long before BabyG is joining in too!!
