Jumping Up and Down in Muddy Puddles!

Today while Duncan has been at home with the flu, we went to Hockley woods to check out the new play equipment and for Amelia to jump up and down in muddy puddles a la Peppa Pig.
So we got in the car (we couldnt have walked and taken the buggy - would have been filthy!) and Lucy got in the sling and we went off to find muddy puddles - it had rained so much earlier in the week I thought the place would be awash with mud and puddles, but ...no. After walking down the hill and finding dry ground we cut across to find wetter ground, and got a little bit lost...but did not find a single puddle...until we got back to the car park - which was full of them!! Then there was much jumping and Amelia got covered in muddy water! Surprisingly, as normally when she gets wet she wants to whip her clothes off, she was pretty happy to get soggy & filthy - maybe as she was wearing her wellies and woods clothes.



A real shame we had to jump in the car park...but needs must!

This is how lucy spent the walk - all slinged up ... looking a little thoughtful in this photo..

Then we went into the park and were not too impressed with the new equipment really, its a bit to old for her - but we went on the old faithful - the swings and both were happy!!




We had to leave in a hurry though - with Amelia announcing she needed a wee and it was going to come out - we ran to the car and I strapped in Lucy , whipped Amelia's trousers and knickers down to have a dignified squat and she started a poo strain - I could not believe it! Luckily she didnt manage to actually poo there - thank goodness!

Amelia-ism of the Day

Duncan 'Did you have fun at the woods'

Amelia 'I needed a poo in the car park but it didnt come out. Just a little bit of wee wee.'

Apparantly that was of more interest than the puddles & swings!!
