We had a bit of a rainy drive over to Kent to meet fav auntie #2 at Leeds Castle and we saw a great rainbow. The weather cleared up though and we walked throug the grounds to the castle. The boys continue their fascination with rivers and played pooh sticks at every bridge we came to, put their fingers in the flowing water and worked out which direction the water was travelling in.
Bean insisted we went into the castle and we enjoyed one of the children's activity cards. I invested in two different children's guides and an adult one too so we can build on our knowledge of castles. Bean's interest in castles has spanned almost two years now.
We enjoyed both play areas to ourselves and fought of a pesky peacock whilst we ate.
It started to rain as we returned to the car and the heavens truly opened as we were sitting in the car. We had a little difficulty with the automatic lock and it took us a while to get in the car and the alarm repeatedly went off and i couldn't open the boot but we put the buggy into FA#2car and went to leave except the car wouldn't start. So I braved the rain and returned to the reception to ask for help and our very own knight in shining armour arrived 10minutes later in a green land rover with spark plugs and we soon in th rain and jump started the car. Praise God it worked!
The rest of the day was spent visiting FA#2 new house and dinner at FA#1 house accompanied with Lego, train sets and a new Lego book.
