School Holidays :-)

Today is the first day of the school holidays, so Andrew took one for the team and took the girls to Rainbows End.  They were so excited last night that we were very nervous that the weather was going to rain on their parade, but luckily the rain held off until this evening, and they had a fantastic time.   Madeleine managed to fall over twice and come home with massive plasters on each knee, so Andrew learned his way to the first aid room, and Lucia came home with her face pink with candy floss.

Lucia rode the Pirate Ship 11 times, so obviously doesn’t take after me in the motion-sickness stakes, but decided she is not old enough for the Roller Coaster, so must have got some sensible genes from somewhere.  Madeleine did ride the Roller Coaster once but given the chance to do it again, decided she’d had enough.  They stayed til closing time and had a ball.  Now we’ll just have to weather all the requests for a return visit, til the next school holiday!  More photos after the jump.
