Well. we have been on holiday, the weather wasn't great to start with, but we still all had a great time.
We arrived early Monday afternoon, unpacked and then headed straight for the pool. This is the first time that James has been swimming since he was diagnosed with Epilepsy. I have to say I was petrified. But the joy on his face made up for that
On Tuesday it rained ALL day. We went into Bodmin and caught the steam train - the kids loved this as it was very Harry Potter
On Wednesday we went for a quick stroll on the beach in Polzeath
In the afternoon we stayed on site, played rugby, tennis, frisbee, crazy golf, went swimming and managed to go to the park as the equipment had finally dried off.
On Thursday - sunshine, hurray, not quite warm enough for the beach though so we decided to go to The Hidden Valley, which is a bit like The Crystal Maze and a Treasure Hunt.
You get a special treasure map, then you have to get the codes and look for artefact's in various "huts" including finding codes from locked safes, and ringing the code through for another clue in an old red telephone box - which was quite funny as my children wondered what on earth "pips" were.
Eventually you find the crystal, and you have to do the final challenge in the vault.
Also there was a secret garden and maze, mini steam train, which Danny fell off, miniature railway, squirting fountain and a hobbit trail.
(I think that if they had this at our HE Group, a few members would have liked to see me in it)
Mike went and paid a little extra for us to stay en extra day - forecast was looking good.
Friday - sunny, off to the beach.
Then back to the site for some more swimming, bike rides, park and sunbathing
Then back to Devon to enjoy the Heat Wave.
