Basildon Day out

We decided that today was a day out day since the sun was out and all looked bright outdoors. Am feeling more able to cope with days out depending on the night's sleep, it just takes a while to get out of the house!

We packed a picnic, gathered the many items required by a newborn and a 3 year old and headed to Basildon Park to check out this year's new ball runs.

We had a really nice time, picnicking and then walking up through the woods to find the new ball runs, followed by tea and brownies outside the big house.

C absolutely loved playing with the ball and rolling it down the runs. Little R fed well and then napped a lot of the afternoon. C had so much fresh air and exercise that after an ice cream and a buggy ride back to the carpark (Mum and I were totally pooped) he fell fast asleep in the car.

I do love spending time out with the family and have loved Mum & Dad being here to look after us. No idea what am going to do next week - best not to think about it for now I think!
