Auntie Day Out

Well Brandon had the follow-up ultrasound on his eye today and has had it confirmed that the lump is a cyst which will need removing via either needle extraction or surgery (surgeon to advise). The good news is it is not attached to his skull and is not malignant in anyway. We now have to wait a few days for the report of the ultrasound and then discuss with the doctor and surgeon the next steps.


Anyway whilst we were at Nuffield with Brandon, Joshua was off having a day out with Auntie. Clearly Joshua enjoyed himself immensely as he had a grin from ear to ear when we picked him up from the train station. Anyway for the first time ever I hand over the blog commentary to Lisa to tell you about their day out.


Eating orange on the train, he got about halfway through and then started putting his fingers through and wearing the segments as rings- he said "Lisa ring on"


First stop ice cream- well it was too cold for ice cream so we went for a ride in an ice cream van

Next for a bit of gambling check out josh's winnings in the middle

Then it was time for some serious driving

We then discovered the 2p machine which he loved although didn't grasp the concept of winning and kept saying oh no when the winnings fell through

After becoming an expert at the shooting game at Christmas it was time to move onto the next level shot em up on horse back. Josh had two goes at this with a top score of 69

This truck was great and almost did a wheelie at the start, josh loved the way it moved and bumped up and down

Then it was time for a virtual roller coaster and this crazy daredevil chose the big dipper rather than the mickey's challenge- hold on tight and buckle up

The bravery test- the electric chair, josh just sat there saying cheese...and before you ask no I did not put money in, really I'm not that cruel

After all that fun it was time for lunch, when I told josh I need a coffee he said and ice cream too , that kid knows his aunt. Unfortunately it was too cold for ice cream so Josh settled for a bacon and sausage sandwich, you will see there is no sausage in this picture as I was not quick enough with the camera. Josh did really well today, he loved the train and we looked for the boats, the sea and found Hadleigh castle whilst on the train. Not sure who had the most fun me or josh x
