Last week of the Holidays

So on the last week of the holidays we finally got some half decent weather! Not wanting to waste the opportunity I took the kids off the Alnwick Gardens. I've been wanting to go there for some time but it's quite a drive and I thought it was expensive but it only ended up being £10.50 for me and the kids were 1p!

Theres this hugh pavillion which looks onto this amazing cascade of fountains. It's so beautiful.

I love the excitement on the kids faces as the fountains start, they all went a little crazy!





The kids all ran off ahead and by the time I caught up with them they were in this fountain fully dressed! Luckily they had already dumped their track suit tops and shoes on the pushchair!


Danny thought this was the best thing ever! It took all my powers of persuasion to get him out.

Anna-Belle on the other hand wasn't quite so enthralled about being soaked to the skin in cold water!
It was then off to the bamboo maze which was so much fun! I really was genuinely lost in the thing. If was fun running around with the pushchair through all the "tunnels"




I really was surprised by how much there was for the kids, so many path ways and ways to get wet. They could have ran around that place for hours!
This is the hugh tree house which is one the things I wanted to see but was actually disappointed with as it's mainly a restaurant, a nice restaurant but I thought is was going to be more for the kids.
Oh and last but not least in the gift shop we found mini Boris! There was no way I was getting out that shop without buying him. Danny was ecstatic! Helen, this is defiantly a place you will love, I'm putting it on the list for when you come visit again.
