Having just spent a week in Detroit with work, I had really missed my three little babies and was really excited about spending some quality time with them this weekend. Saturday morning I had to take Brandon over to Chelmsford for an FA Football Community day with the U7's team which turned out to be really good event. The kids all had a mini tournament against 5 or 6 other teams, then they spent an hour doing skills work with the FA coaches, then to finish the session off they had a fun inflatable area for the kids to play on. At the end of the event all the kids were presented with an FA goodie bag containing a ball, drink bottle and wrist band. Then the finale was a show by Colin Nell who is a world freestyle football professional. My god some of the stuff he was doing with a football was just amazing and unbelievable. Whilst me and B were at Chelmsford Tina took Joshua to football training and then took Holly to a dance school the get her registered to start in September.
Then today the boys wanted to go to Hadleigh Olympic Mountain Bike track again and so we headed over there in the morning. This week I only took the 3 kiddies bikes as I was feeling a bit tired and jet lagged plus I had a bad throat infection after my travels and just didn't fancy cycling. We explored some new terrain today and found some awesome rocky sections and wooden ramps (which made me really regret not taking my bike!!!). However we got a little off track and ended heading out to Benfleet direction and getting lost!!! Tina was not happy as she didn't have the best shoes on and the hills were not doing her Asthma much good. We ended up tracking back a long way up and down hills to rush back to the car as Brandon had his Beaver canoeing event at 2 o'clock and we still hadn't had lunch. So we all had a good workout over Hadleigh!!!!
The Beaver canoeing was enjoyable and the weather was great. Although Joshua is now a Cub, there wasn't too many Beavers there so I managed to pay for him to join in as well. So whilst the boys were canoeing me and Holly sat on the jetty feeding all the fish her lunch! After the canoeing we went and checked out the new festival leasure splash park (could be on the agenda for next weekend), then went home to enjoy the sun by getting our own little water slide out. Chuck in a BBQ over the weekend and it was a very busy one, but some good family time.
