Jake is still ‘without radish’. To celebrate, last week we took him to Bluewater to buy a buzz lightyear, however he came out with a ‘Big Red’ radio controlled fire engine which sprays water. He is very pleased with it :-).
It was an action-packed weekend. On Saturday we met up with Andy at the Wetlands Centre in Barnes. I wasn’t expecting much but was pleasantly surprised. There was lots for Jake to see and do. We walked around the lakes and ponds spotting different wild-fowl as we went. Later on Jake became a ‘bug explorer’ and tried his hand at pond dipping. The man running the session asked all the children to put their hands up if they wanted to go bug fishing. Jake put up his hand and left it up for the entire time. Bless him!
On Sunday we took a trip to Polesden Lacy to have a picnic with Sally, Roy, Ads and Jo. It was a nice day. We played giant tennis and dodgeball and then went for walk around the grounds of the house. Jake discovered the open-air orchestra pit and had a great time climbing up and down it.
