Butlins

I'm soooooooooo behind on blog posts, so first of all - Butlins.  Lee and I took our 3 sprogs down to Bognor Regis to spend a few days at Butlins during the Easter hols.  Butlins is what it is, although I must admit, I was shocked at the prices, but then again it was Easter....

We were very lucky with the weather in that it didn't rain at all.  Cloudy and very cold, but the sun did try and sneak through..

All the kids enjoyed the free Funfair, although Nicholas wasn't that impressed he had to go on the rides with an adult...

 Cassandra more than the boys enjoyed meeting some important people..

I'd forgotten just how stoney Bongor beach was, so all the buckets and spades I'd take weren't really much use in building a sandcastle!

Still, an ice cream and a train rides along the seafront made up for it!  

We had good "family of 5" time for the week, although I hate to admit that I think we've outgrown Butlins a little bit... Alex was just on the cusp of max height to do anything and I refuse to queue up from 5pm to get into a venue to watch a show that starts at 7.30pm...

Still, it was fun and I must of put the 1/2 stone that I've recently lost back on during those 5 days due to the wonderful food...

"Scout Essex Weekend" - camping is our next venture...
