A Lark in the park at Sidcup

Last Saturday we headed to Sidcup to Lark in the Park's Fun Day which is a community event run by the local churches. We were joined by Helen, Libby, Danielle and a bump.There were different sections set up for different ages so we headed to the under 5's area past the puppet show which was busy entertaining those with longer attention spans than my adorable baby.There were 2 mini enclosed bouncy castles for under 2's which were fantastic (I want to buy one for my front room now)

giant bouncy castles for the over 2's, a ton of ride on toys including Thomas the tank who caused a lot of toddler strops. Mini trampolines, lots of sandpits with spades, buckets, trowels (which one little boy used to throw sand all over my little boy's head!)

small houses to go in and out of (kid's love doors) and climbing frames and rocking see saw toys which Oli went on with Libby. We also headed to the animal tent run by a Community Interest Company where children could see and pet snakes, hamsters, guinea pigs and iguanas. I didn't trust my little one to not squash them dead so we just looked on until his attention span snapped. Finally we collapsed on the floor with free orange squash and cookies before heading back home on the bus. Some of us had sand in our hair others had cookie rubbed all over their leggings but it was a brilliant day out. http://larkinthepark.com/
