103. Greenfingers (A quick gardening session before we left for our holiday for the week, if we didn't get those seeds in last weekend they weren't going to happen at all! Fabulous to see The Boy writing voluntarily and with enthusiasm.)
104. Swoooooosh! (Thank God that Butlin's had reinstated their original safety regulations and that The Boy could go down the helter-skelter with daddy, because he'd been talking about it for weeks!)
105. Up He Goes! (Would it be a week of ours without a tree-climbing photo? We popped next door to Hotham Park and had a wonderful hour or two exploring the adventure playground and the best nature has to offer.)
106. A Big Bear Hug (We had a character breakfast with Billy and Betty Bears this morning in Papa John's Italian restaurant, excellent quality! When the two bears came out and came to hug the children, they were overjoyed, and they were then invited to take part in a celebration dance around the restaurant playing instruments. Both The Boy and his cousin loved it!)
107. Learning From The Master (Having enjoyed the circus skills class with the Skyline Gang last year, it was the first activity that we booked for The Boy and his cousin this year. He loved learning how to do all of the different skills with them, but the guy who plays Dude is the most attentive in my opinion and really helped him master the diablo.)
108. In Training (All week The Boy had been begging to go on these, and so on our last morning he and Mr. TBaM patiently waited thirty minutes for their turn. I'm not sure who was more in their element, but look at his little face!)
109. Test Drive (We had grand plans to go to Legoland today. Unfortunately, so did everyone else in Great Britain! It took us forty-five minutes to park after a twenty-five minutes unnecessary detour, and then once inside we discovered there were no Q-Bots left and nearly every ride had a 75 minutes waiting time on it. Luckily, we managed to pacify The Boy with two rides which only had half an hour long queues, a play in the Duplo Valley and examination of MiniLand. We then upgraded to Annual Passes with the promise that we'd be back in a few weeks. I am convinced there was around 8,000 people in the theme park, about 2,000 too many!)

The boy looks so chuffed to be on that helter skelter! Great shot! Looks like you all had such gun at Butlins!
We had incredible fun, thank you. Lovely bright and sunny week from you this week, great butterfly capture.
Thanks for linking up to Project 365.
You're welcome. Thank you. We had a lovely week. Shame it had to end really!
I just love his constant smile. Looks like you had a fabulous time at Butlins.
Looks like you had a fab time away!!!
I love the helterskelter pic. 🙂 looks like you had a lovely time at Butlins 🙂
some brilliant pictures here – but the helter skelter one is my favourite, a beautiful action shot! Looks like a wonderful week away!
Looks like you had a brilliant time at Butlins again. I would have HATED those queues at Legoland. My family like theme parks, but we don't often go because we find the queues so stressful!
Looks like you've had a fabulous time, what great pictures! I love The Boy's ecstatic little face on the helter skelter – so cute!
I'm gutted I didn't reapply for the Butlin's programme!! Love the Helter Skelter pic – you wouldn't get me going down it 🙂
Looks like a lot of fun. Hope you managed to switch off and enjoy it.
I absolutley love the helter skelter shot. Hope you had a wonderful time!
Adore the picture of him coming down the helter skelter with his dad – mine refused to go on it and I was disappointed not to get on any fairground rides myself!
Love his concentration in the first shot. Shame about Legoland – hope you get back soon on a quieter day.
I love all the photos!! but my fave is the boy and his dad on the helter skelter type ride! his face says it all x
Wow it looks like you've all had such a fun week! Happy Easter x
Ahhh his face is a picture coming down the helter skelter. Pure delight!! 🙂 and wow at the numbers at Lego land. I wouldn't have known if I was coming or going.
Butlins looks fab! Mummy went to LegoLand with the others before I was born, and said the queues were horrendous then too!
Looks like you had a great time at Butins – I love The Boy's face when he finally managed to get into the car 🙂
Sorry to hear Legoland was so busy – I think we all got rather spoiled last year with those golden wristbands didn't we? 😉
Great looking holiday. Happy memories
Love the Boy's expressions – he has obviously had a wonderful week of adventures
Sounds like you've had the most wonderful week and what glorious weather too. I adore the helter skelter shot, just brilliant! Thank you so much for linking me up, so appreciated 🙂
Love the photo on the slide. Looks like you've had a fab week!
Looks like it's been a great week.
The boy looks so grown up in the first one. Lovely pictures of Butlins, looks like you've all had fun!
Some really great photos. Loving the smiles with daddy.
Legoland is a nightmare in good weather isn't it.
Looks like you had a great time at Butlins. Sorry to hear Legoland was so busy! We'd love to visit soon as I think Z would love it.
Clearly the boy has been having an amazing week full of fun.
This all looks very familiar! Glad you had a great time – don't know how you found the time to visit anywhere else though, we were dragged around the fairground everyday!
If you don't got that helter skelter photo framed I will never forgive you! Awesome!
Love the helter skelter photo. Bigger Miss is off on a big brownie weekend next weekend to Butlins. Legoland can be fab and we've never paid extra for qbots (always thought they seemed a bit of a ripoff!) The trick is to arrive early , head straight to the opposite side of the park, leave late and rush round the biggies at the end when there's hardly any queues and just potter round miniland and ffestiniog shows and stuff in the middle!
Love the helter skelter photo, it's brilliant. Looks like an amazing week for you all, Happy Easter x
Fun filled week 😀
i have enjoyed seeing your Butlins photos this week and you lways look like you have had just the *best* time and what amazing weatehr you had (yay!)
I love the boys face on the helter skelter (and daddy's too) and in the racing car – his face is a picture x
He looks so pleased to be on the helter skelter. Sadly it was still closed when we went which really upset Emmy
Thanks for hosting and man, you guys looked like you had an amazing time away in Butlins!! #365
So many fun, happy photos, it looks like you had a great time at Butlins! I'll have to remember Hotham Park when we go in a few weeks.
Wonderful photos of what looks like an amazing week! Like everyone else, the helterskelter photo is my favourite but I love how happy he looks in all of them. Sorry Legoland wasn't as expected, but hopefully next time will be better.
Great photos, I love the helter skelter too and looks like the boy and Daddy are having a lot of fun!
What an awesome time. Love it x
he seems to have had a fab week, expanding on skills previously learnt. Both their faces on the car make it well worth the price and the wait.
As for legoland, its a bit like our local area, over subscribed when the sun shines and best avoided.
He looks very confident up the tree, Bob struggles with tree climbing.
Butlins is the best for kids. The helter skelter is so much fun. It's great that some staff seem to have a natural ability to teach and guide children.
The photos really do show what a fab time you had. That shot on the slide is just wonderful! Pure joy 🙂 What a pain that the queues at Lego land were so awful.
I have never been on a helter skelter I am very jealous of The Boy and his Daddy now!
