21. Do something special with my niece, Lexie, every year (Year 4)

I love spending time with my niece - she often astounds me with the things she says. Now, however, Eden is old enough to join us so it's double joy for me. Uncle Matheus and I took a day off to look after them together.

First off, we took them to King George Recreation Ground in Bushey to have a bit of a play. They played on the swings, slides, climbing ropes and a zip-wire type thing (only Lexie and Matheus had a go on this).


Matheus was "supervising" Lexie (he was playing)

The cheeky monkey...and her nephew

Hellooooooooooooo

We then decided to go to Intu Watford to have some lunch at Ed's Diner and then go to a Lego Store event (of course). The kids made Harry Potter wands and got to take them home. Obviously, I also treated them to a Lego set each because I'm the best Auntie.

Eden was disappointed that we couldn't take this home
We headed back to the car park and let them play in the "sports car". The Thomas the Tank Engine ride wasn't working - Eden being a Thomas fan was not best pleased but was happy to join Lexie in the sports car.


Annoyingly this ride didn't work
Beep beep

We headed off home and by the time we got there, someone was a little pooped.

Zzzzzzzzzzz
As the weather was still lovely and they didn't have to go home yet, we played in the garden with some bubbles which the kids enjoyed, especially Eden who loved bursting them. His laugh is so infectious.

There's always one who spoils it...should have taken my sunnies off

Just chillin'

Also chillin'
I can't wait to have a day with them next year.
