We had a great weekend (a 3 day bank holiday). We swam all day Saturday and Sunday at two different water parks. The kids had a blast. Although, I am not sure I have ever seen X that tired. Poor kid. He fell asleep at 6:15 while VW carried him to a nearby restaurant (about a mile). He slept through dinner, walking home and a diaper change until 5 am! At which point, he woke up and I followed him around the hotel for 2 hours. Many people took pity on us (me?) A maid gave us cookies, some workmen gave us coloring books, and the buffet restaurant (not open yet) gave us coffee and juice. I must have looked pitiful. I hadn’t slept that night at all.
Speaking of sleeping, my insomnia has been pretty active as of late. I am not sure why. We are more settled and feeling better, yet I am sleeping worse and worse.
Anyway, the third day we spent at a place called Trentham Estate. No longer an estate, it has a garden center, large Italian garden, train and boat rides, restaurants and a monkey forest. The monkey forest allows the monkeys to move freely around the forest area. No fences or cages. They walk right by you. S loved the baby monkeys. They were so playful wrestling, climbing trees and jumping. X slept unfortunately and he loves monkeys so much. When a worker asked the crowd (200 people or so) if any one had questions, S’s hand shot right up. “How do they get their food?” Shocked me. She can be so shy one day and so outgoing the next.
Overall it was a great weekend. Water and kids seem to be a great mix.
