Caister Day 2

Well day 2 and guess who was last to rise and shine as usual - yes little Mr Lazy Bones himself.

Once everyone was up, fed, dressed and washed we headed down to the Caister-on-sea beach for a pleasant morning stroll. The beach is beautiful and even the offshore wind turbines seem to add to the scenic views rather than ruin them.

Here is Joshua posing on the beach.

And Brandon getting a helping hand from Mummy to cross the sands.

After the beach walk we went to the indoor pool for the first time. Both boys absolutely loved the water slides and despite being too short, Brandon managed to find his way past the life guards and onto the highest slide.

After the swim the boys got to burn off even more energy as we headed over to the indoor soft play area. I think I got just as much fun by building structures for the boys using the big colourful, soft blocks.

Joshua on one of his destructive rampages. Only this time the tower fell down on him.

This was one of my hair brain ideas to build a progressively higher set of steps which the boys could then use to leap off of and into the ball pit (Mummy was not impressed).

But before diving into the ball pit Joshua got some practice by jumping into these soft pillars.

The ball pit was pretty amazing as it was about 2-3ft deep and the size of a small swimming pool. Joshua was first to dive in. Ready, steady, go........

All smiles as he surfaces.

After watching his brother Brandon now knows exactly what to do and quickly follows suit.

Now tell me this is not a great picture of little cute Brandon.

Anyone seen two missing boys? Last seen playing in a ball pit in Caister.

Brandon needed help out of the ball pit as it was too deep for him to climb out on his own. But once out he simply jumped straight back in again. Check out the hang time here....

After all that morning activity it was back to the caravan for some lunch and a bit of chill time for the boys. Once their power nap was complete we headed out on a 4 seater pedal car.

Surprisingly Brandon really didn't enjoy this so he went off with Mummy and me and Josh were left to terrorise the rest of the caravan park. And believe me with Joshua doing the steering and me pedaling - we definitely caused a bit of havoc. I swear we managed to get airborne over one of the speed bumps!

The evening time was the normal routine of having a "nice dinner" and then off to watch the 6:15 kids show. Here you can see greedy the ape.

And here is me sitting with the two boys watching the show.

After the show had finished Joshua found it very amusing to chase the disco lights around the dance floor.

And Brandon joined me for a photo shoot with Roary the Tiger. Joshua was too scared and Brandon was too intrigued and would not look at the camera but just the Tiger's face.

To finish the day we went into the arcades to spend more pennies. Brandon would not part with his little money pot.

Check in tomorrow for Day 3 which was an amazing day out at Africa Alive.
