This week we've had two days out in this glorious sunshine. The first was yesterday when we met up with Jenny from Mummy Mishaps and her two little chaps at Puxton's Park just off junction 21 of the M5. Having been damp for so long, everyone in the area had decided to congregate there to enjoy the sunny weather, including us!
It was beautifully sunny, but with little breeze or shade, it was hard work keeping the little ones cool and calm. The boys absolutely loved playing with each other though, even if they did get too exuberant at one point meaning that The Boy and Burton fell over while hugging and banged their heads!
Today was my birthday and so we headed over to Cattle Country, just off junction 14 of the M5: northbound this time!
We'd packed a thorough picnic and The Boy's bathers and had a really good afternoon there; playing in the wooden fort, splashing in the paddling pool, going on the tiny steam train, exploring the willow maze, bouncing on the jumping pillow, testing an assault course and driving a mini tractor!
Hopefully, the weekend will be just as sunny and filled with more fun and games!

It just makes the Summer holidays more enjoyable doesn't it? I'm not bothered about hot weather, as long as it's dry!

these look like great places to visit and have many of the things I would love to introduce at Coombe Mill in time. Judging by the fun the Boy and Mummy Mishaps's boys are having I should keep these aims alive! thank you for sharing on Country Kids and a Very Happy Birthday to you!

I think that an obstacle course and a zip wire would go down a treat at your place! Maybe you could open a day cafe and outdoor play centre?

It was so nice to see him playing with a little boy who doesn't push or shove or take over! Wish we lived closer π
