Caister Holiday Day 1

Not too much to report from Day 1 of our recent holiday to Caister-on-sea. We arrived just after 4pm and spent a couple of hours unpacking, settling into our caravan and then familiarising ourselves with the local surroundings.

Our caravan was only 2 weeks old and was very nice indeed. Both boys enjoyed staying in the caravan. We tried letting Brandon and Joshua sleep in the same room for the first time but this was a big mistake as the two of them just chatted away for ages and then Joshua kept getting up saying Brandon was keeping him awake. So in the end we gave in and used the spare room so that both boys had their own room.

One of Joshua's highlights from the holiday was these 12V motorised motorcycles. I would say he averaged around 3-4 goes minimum every day. He absolutely loved them and of course every time he had a ride, Brandon had to have a go as well. So all in all this became a fairly expensive part of the holiday! These bikes actually became part of Joshua's behaviour motivation because if he was naughty and not doing what he was told we would simply tell him no motorbikes today and it worked a treat.

Brandon could not reach the pedals on his own so he had to ride with Daddy (shame).



Also within the resort were some pretty good slides along with a dragon tube. Joshua was fine coming down these on his own but Brandon was just under the height limit and had to ride with Daddy or Mummy. But as usual once Brandon hit the bottom all you got out of him was "again", "again".



In the evening we went to watch one of the kids evening shows which became part of our after dinner routine. Joshua really got into the shows and loved watching them. Brandon just ran around like a looney. After the show we always walked back through the arcades (which was another expensive part of the holiday) and in there the boys found their beloved Roary the racing car.


So not much to report out for Day 1. But the rest of the week got far more exciting so check in tomorrow for Day 2 which includes a fun packed day of the beach, swimming, soft play, pedal bikes, more motorbikes and dragon slides and finally a meet and greet with Roary the Tiger.
