A Sky Ride in Pyjamas
On Thursday evening we took the baby bear to the Heath to go on the big wheel. It was quite expensive but the lovely husband paid and it was so worth it.
We went round about ten times and could see forever to the Olympic park behind greenwich, canary wharf skyline and the shard lit up by sunset.
It was very pretty and I could happily have gone round another ten times. An amazing opportunity to see where we live from up high.
Oliver wears his pyjamas - dinosaur Trousers from primark and top from next.

Christmas tree farm with my little bear
We have done quite a bit of farming recently so I thought I would add to my blog this rather fantastic little find (thank you auntie Nicky)!
Christmas tree farm is in Downe in Kent and who knew there was masses of green fields and cows if you drive about 15 minutes towards Kent from our house.
It cost £4 for adults and was free for the under 2's and £2 for over. There are lots of animals here and the layout is brilliantly thought out. As you first reach the farm chickens and ducks run (away from children mainly!) and around you in a little garden where you can buy plants and fresh herbs.
When you get into the main farm you can walk amongst turkeys, chickens and peahens. Whilst behind fences but still at arms reach are emus, llamas, alpacas, mini ponies, jersey cows with huge long tongues (Betty & Daisy) pygmy goats and horses.
When you pay to go in you can buy a bucket of feed which you can offer every animal in the whole place which is a fab idea and a large red bucket lasted us for the whole farm.
Oliver loved carrying his bucket but wasn't that keen on sharing it with anyone else. He cuddled goats and stuck his fingers in horses eyes and up their noses. At one point I thought his hand had been bitten off by a horse but everything was fine. Mat the calmer downer in the family was there to stop horses eating children.
This is a lovely place to spend a day or afternoon as those with kids know it can take forever to walk a very short space with them. The enclosed spaces mean you can all wander about at your own pace and you just have to keep an eye that they don't try and get in with the animals like mine did.
The cafe for coffee is dire don't do it whilst starbucks still exists just buy a can of drink. For children though there is a brilliantly valued meal of hot dog, crisps and juice for £2.60.
As usual Oliver is wearing his h&m lion tshirt with h&m shorts and Clarks dinosaur shoes.

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.
