Jolly holidays

We recently had our first holiday as a family of 5, it was great a sunny week in Somerset chilling out having fun and spending time as a family with Nanny and Uncle M too. Lots of hands to hold Little 3 gave me a much needed break between feeds, the girls got some time with Mummy and Daddy and plenty of extra attention which did them good and we all got plenty of fresh air and exercise too.

We visited Weston Super Mare and the aquarium there, Cheddar Gorge, Wookey Hole caves, the Mendip Hills and Brean beach, there was swimming at a nearby hotel too and lots of playing in the garden at our cottage which was on a beef farm so the girls also enjoyed going to see the cows lots too.

One of the things we do when we are on holiday, seeing as it is Little 1's favourite food, is eat ice cream. It started when she was small, we generally holiday in seaside locations as the girls really love the beach and building sandcastles. We have a holiday rule that nearly every day that we are away the girls are allowed an ice cream if they have been good. This year we found a few places selling whoppers, needless to say Little 2 couldn't always finish hers but Daddy was always willing not to let it go to waste!

Little 3 was very good while we were away, he slept a lot in the pushchair and spent some time in the baby carrier too, he was even fantastic and dropped a night feed mid way through the week which was brilliant (it only lasted a week though, maybe it was all the fresh air!).

We all came back feeling very refreshed and refueled, just what we had needed. Here's to more fun filled holidays as a family of 5.
