Polkement Park

On Tuesday we went to Polkement park for some arts and crafts. Create is a cool wee shop that the kids can pick ceramic ornaments to paint. Neive picked a dog and did a brilliant job of painting it with spots (She does not get her artistic abilities from me) We got Beths footprint and Neives hand print too. They get fired and glazed over the weekend and we can pick them up next week. There was a soft play at the back for the shop and Aunt Margaret (actually Caitlans Aunty but by the end of the day she was everybodys' Aunt Margaret) looked after them all. Then we went to the park for a play and there was some seriously good equipment to play on.



They had a fort, swings, a massive Caterpillar thingy (see pics)flying fox, tyre swing, sand area with some diggers.





The kids had a brilliant time and the mummies were on quite a few things too.





We had our picnic in the courtyard where we could keep an eye on everyone. All the kids were picking and choosing what to eat from other peoples packed lunch boxes. Obviously, other peoples mums make better food.



We couldn't get the kids to get back in the car to go home without bribing them with ice-cream. All the kids got on great and there were no fights or quibbles. Brilliant day had by all! Here's a pic of Beth giving the day a round of applause. She started clapping her hands last week.
