We are halfway through the Easter holidays and the break from school has been lovely so far.
It was just me and the children for most of last week. On Monday we went to an Easter craft session at the local library that was a lot of fun, and had the added bonus of a few of Nerys’ friends from school being there too so she was very happy.
Tuesday was a bit grey and wet so we had a lovely quiet day at home. Then on Wednesday we ventured out to Cwmdonkin park for a few hours to burn off some energy.
Thursday was our busiest day, with a trip to the LC2 for soft play then a craft session at the Waterfront museum. It was a lovely warm day so we sat outside the museum to have some lunch, then we headed into town to pick up a few bits from the shops.
The children were with their grandparents on Friday so I had a chance to get some work done. Then Steve and I took them to the beach after my in-laws dropped them home.
We knew the tide would be in at around 7, and having been a lovely sunny day it was just about warm enough for the children to have a splash around in the sea.
They had an absolutely brilliant time, and ended up much wetter than we’d anticipated.
It was just so great to watch them though, and all the brilliant memories from last summer came flooding back. We spent a lot of time at the beach last summer and I think it really helped both the children build up their confidence in the water.
I’m really hoping we get enough warm sunny days again this summer to be able to do it all over again this year.
Sounds like a wonderful start to the Easter holidays – we were so lucky with the weather last week, it made me look forward to a great summer too. Love your photo this week! x
Your week sounds lovely, libraries are brilliant for seasonal activities are usually free which is a bonus. I hope the this summer is just as sunny as the last so you can make lots more memories at the beach x
Sounds like a lovely week. I wish we were a bit closer to the beach to be able to just pop there x
Spending time in the library and in a museum sounds a perfect way to spend a holiday. #LivingArrows
I always envy your time at the beach. They really are the times the children will remember in years to come x
I really wish we lived closed to the beach. It sounds like a great first week of Easter holidays hope you have had just as much fun on the second x
It sounds like you had a lovely holidays. Nerys is looking so grown up this picture too 🙂 #LivingArrows
