Easter Holiday begins

Yay!! The kids are off for 2 weeks now, and we decided to spend this day with our friends Sofie and Oscar and their mama Emma. Rhiannon and Sofie are the only 2 girls in their Reception class (aka Kindergarten in the US), and Oscar and Tryfan are the same age and go to Nursery school together. First Sofie and Oscar came over to our house to play for a few hours, then we all went to visit Blackberry Farm, which is a fun place to visit down the road (about 20 min drive away).
We didn't spend too long in the farm animal section. But we did get straight onto the tractor ride which gave us a tour of the farm. We spent most of the day in the play area part, which had a huge bouncy mountain in the middle of a sand pit. No photos of this, sorry. The other popular area, especially for Tryfan, was this soft ball room that had a vacuum system which allowed balls to be sent flying through tunnels and out of cannons. Tryfan spent a lot of time going up and down the stairs carrying as many balls as he could to transfer into one part or another of the room.
Finally it was time to go, and everyone conked out in the cars on the way home. Here they are getting ready to go home...
Oscar is such a cheeky little guy!
