Summer holidays

The summer holidays have arrived!

My two older children have completed year 2 and reception class at school and have now broken up for the school summer holidays. YAY :)

We don't have lots of plans because as always its tricky due to the British weather. The only plans we have so far are going to Camp Bestival at Lulworth Castle and a camping trip with friends booked towards the end of the holidays. I'm hoping we're lucky enough to get dry weather for both these camping trips, camping in wet weather really doesn't appeal to me.

I feel lucky living near the south coast as if the weather is dry there are so many things we can do that please all three children very cheaply or for free. Within an hour or so of driving we're able to reach some wonderful parks, beautiful beaches or tranquil walks in the countryside depending on what it is we fancy doing.

I envisage us going on many dog walks, lots of play park trips, spending time at the beach playing in the sand and watching fireworks glistening over the sea. It'd be nice to have a couple of special days out such as the Bournemouth air days, indoor soft play and maybe a day at Legoland (courtesy of Tesco Clubcard vouchers) if the weather allows. Not to forget some lazy days in.

I'm keeping everything crossed for a dry 6 weeks so we're able to have a really memorable summer holidays.  Bring it on :D
