Butlins Minehead Day 1

Currently we still have the luxury of taking holidays out of school terms and subsequently took the boys to Butlins in Minehead last week. This was the longest car journey (circa 5 hours) that the boys have ever completed and I have to say they did extremely well and we only had two toilet breaks on route.

A rare picture with all four of us.

Not much to report out for the first day as most of it was spent travelling and then settling into our chalet. Once we were settled in we took a quick walk around the site and let the boys try out some of the various play areas.

The wibbly wobbly bridge.


One of many slides.

Spot the Brandon in this picture!


These next shots were taken in a fairly large fort type of play area with slides, tunnels and zip wires.




Here is Joshua making one of many runs down the zip wire. Good exercise for me keep dragging him back up the slope and then pushing him off.




After the long journey and the play in the parks, both boys were completely pooped. Despite having a 3 bedroom chalet we decided to try letting them sleep in the same bedroom - and it worked a treat. For the first time ever they shared a bedroom for the night. Here are the sleeping beauties.

Check back for Day 2 when the boys get to meet their hero - Fireman Sam, me and Joshua gets to grips with a high speed go-kart and Brandon gets very excited in Bob The Builder World.
