This week I was in Leamington Spa with the kids, escaping the house renovations. My husbands’ parents have a roomy house and a gigantic garden. Add their attentive nature and some ice cream, and my children are in heaven.
On Wednesday, my daughter was feeling tired so we canceled the day’s plans and the kids spent most of the day in the garden. Moozles, who will be six next week, said she wanted to do some exercises to ‘be healthy’. So, I incorporated Simon Says and we had a super fun game where I got to sit in the sun while Moozles did star jumps, push-ups and twirled around. Dubz, who is 23 months old, was happy to potter about and drive his car.
That evening, we had a picnic dinner at the end of the garden (pic above, third and fourth pics). The kids got to eat and run around. After dinner, Moozles had a splash about in the hot tub with her granny (sixth pic). I know the kids had a fun day because they changed their outfits 2-4 times between them. Dirty clothes means happy kids.

What an amazing garden. I love the picture of Moozles jumping! x
I had a similar red and yellow car when I was little!
She loves any excuse to practice jumping! 🙂 x
Luckily, you and I don’t have to pay whopping gardener bills. 😉
Aww, they are classics!
I think I might like to come and visit Granny’s garden and hot tub myself! What a wonderful time they had having fun and lovely picnics in the sun. Thanks for linking up and sharing with Country Kids.
Lovely photos and a beautiful garden!
Garden time is our favourite pastime! Looks like they had a great time x
What a fabulous garden to play in – very jealous of Granny’s garden ( and the attentive granny!) #b
