Exbury Gardens & Beaulieu

Today was a lovely hot day and we went to Exbury Gardens.  It was a very nice place but I was the youngest there...most people looked very old and had sticks, chariots and buggies to get about in.  Some of them seemed to like me though and were nice to me.

I went on a brilliant real steam train, which was very exciting and after that I ran around on a lovely big lawn where we had a picnic.  This all made me rather tired so I went to sleep for a while.  Later we went to Beaulieu where I was very excited to see lots of horses, donkeys and a very cross goose that made lots of noise.

When we came back we collected fish and chips in Ringwood and ate them at Nana and Granddad's house.  I was very grubby and very happy...what a great day!

I got very excited when the train arrived and climbed up the barriers to have a good look

I wasn't sure about some of these horses...they wanted my sandwich!

Granddad wanted a photo with my Daddy in it for a change!  They are very rare.  Most photos have me in them!

A last post about Lanzarote

We had a lovely holiday in Lanzarote and got home safely.

Here are a few more photos that Daddy worked on when we got back.

Here I am around the pool at the end of the day...it was cooler then

I took my Mr Men ball to play with

I fell over a few times in the water early on but was very sure footed later and was happy climbing in and out of the pool by myself too

I borrowed all kinds of floating toys which were great fun

Our room was where the wooden balcony is directly above the two central palm trees 

A funny green lagoon on the Volcanic coast

Tis clown fish toy was great fun and Daddy pushed me around the pool for ages in it

It was even good fun on dry land

The nice Papagayo beaches

Here are some snaps from the balcony

Lovely day at the beach

Today is a lovely sunny day with blue skies and hot but not too hot.

Daddy carried me on the Tenko trail from the hotel to the lovely beach at Papagayo. I played in the sand and paddled in the sea. Daddy said there were some interesting things around but personally the sandcastles and throwing stones did it for me. Daddy dug me a big hole and made some sandcastles which got washed away when the tide came in.

More action in Lanzarote

Well it's been very exciting here for the last couple of days.

Yesterday it turned much cooler, especially in the afternoon when it was also very windy. Today was hot again but rather cloudy later.

Yesterday we went on a real submarine. I had to sit on a bus for quite a while before, so I wanted to run about and got just a bit grumpy until fish started showing outside. I got rather excited then and was waving at the fish. Daddy was quite interested as we dived to 34 metres then spent a while on the bottom at 29 metres. It got very exciting when a diver showed up outside and a big stingray came to be fed.....it was huge, much bigger than me! I have done some very nice things even though I'm not even 2!

Last night I went to the children's party and got rather overexcited and crazy. I started to take lots of chairs onto the stage and then started stage diving off the steps. Mummy and Daddy had to take control of me after a while so I didn't get hurt, but I just seem to bounce.

Today we went to the Rancho Texas park where I saw lots of animals. I was already super tired from charging about and I was a monkey in the bird of prey show. The lady told everyone to stay seated as huge birds flew low over us but I just wanted to run around and made a dash for a pond on the grass area where no one is allowed to go......Daddy had to do an emergency sprint and grab and then Mummy took me away for some milk.

I saw some huge moos that Daddy said were bison and I mooed at them. I did laugh when one did a big super poopa dooper.

I loved the miniature horses, tortoises, armadillos, tiger and then had a nap, but I woke up to see the seal show. I had a lovely play with Daddy in the pool when we got back and we walked along the prom until I fell asleep. I was super tired.

Here I am waiting to be collected by the bus to go in the submarine

This is me under the water in a submarine!

A twilight walk to get me to sleep after another busy day
