Xmas Playtime @ Lake Meadows and Blow Pens

With such a mild winter and the nice sunshine we have had recently we took a drive over to Lake meadows earlier this week so that the kiddies could have a play in the park, have a kick around with a football and also have a cycle/scooter around the lake. It was just nice to get out with the little ones and burn off some of those Xmas calories. Although the boys have both been out running with me every other day since boxing day and doing between 1.2 and 1.4 miles. Joshua even cycle one of my run routes today and covered about 6 miles on his bike which is the longest he has ever cycled.

 

Whilst over Lake Meadows we found that they had added a few new wooden sculptures and also one of those park outdoor gyms.

As well as trying to get out and about over the Xmas break the kiddies are all having fun using their new Xmas presents. One of the big hitters for this year is the blow pens which Auntie Chris and Uncle Steve bought the boys. In particular Brandon who is getting very arty and creative and not only is he using the stencils, but he is adding his own ideas to his pictures, such as trees, sky, snails, grass etc.

 

Brandon's blow pen toucan bird that he painted tonight and added the tree, grass and snail. Love the idea that the blow pen box also acts as a holder for all the pens.

Brandon proudly shows his painting of a horse jumping a hurdle.

Nanny would have loved Brandon's owl picture that he did.
