Day Out at Lee Valley Centre

We are trying to make the most of the football summer which means that in the short term we have our Saturdays and Sundays back and therefore it is a good opportunity to get out and have some family time. This Sunday we headed over to Lee Valley White Water Centre and had a really fun and really active day out.

We started off by walking the around the white water course itself and reminiscing about when we watching the Olympics here back in 2012. Holly then had a play in a sand pit play area while I got out the gas burner and cooked us up some nice sausage sandwiches for lunch.

After lunch we all headed over to the frisbee golf course and had a round of golf which seemed much harder than it looked. Not sure whether it was the wind or what, but there was no way those holes were being done in 3 or 4 shots. Holly didn't quite grasp the idea and would go running up the fairway and then launch her frisbee right at the end. Joshua seemed to like playing out of the rough a lot!

Once the frisgolf was done we had to split up a little and I took the two boys down on the River Lee for some stand up paddle boarding. Whilst we were doing that Tina took Holly over to the giant summer bounce area to have some inflatable fun.

Back at the scene where we watched some of the Olympics back in 2012.

Tina and the kiddies.

Joshua and Brandon with some of our Olympians.

Josh and B can't remember anything about watching the Olympics here!!!

Holly watching some of the rafting whilst I was cooking up some sausages.

That gappy smile!

Holly playing in the sand pit whilst she waits for her lunch.

Cheeky girl.

After lunch it was off to the Lee Valley Disc Golf Course.

Joshua tee's off on the 1st.

Great action shot of B.

And one of Joshua.

Holly seems pleased with her win even if she did run most of the way.

I think Brandon is cheating standing that close to the chain net.

Another hole done.

Brandon and Holly go racing off to the next hole.

Me, Holly and Brandon.

A little woodland walk to find the next hole.

And we are finished, a tricky hole 9 in the middle of the woods.

Frisbee head Josh.

Running around like a lunatic for 2 hours getting hot and sweaty.

Holly getting some airtime.

Meanwhile I take the boys out on the River Lee for some SUP.

Brandon chilling and getting his feet wet before braving jumping in.

As usual the boys spent a lot of time in the water.

I managed to get some great shots from up on a bridge.

A rare picture of them both actually standing up on their boards.

Joshua heading up river in some lovely clear water.

Love this picture of Joshua in action.

Brandon about to fall in.

Action shot of Brandon and his skinny little legs.

A little nature watching as three geese swim past.

Eventually the boys made it all the way down to the next lock.

We saw these really odd coloured duck's which we had never seen before.

At the end of a very active day its time to settle down for some cake and coffee before heading home.
