We all had to get up early this morning in order to get breakfast, lunch packed and ready to go off to the Treetops Eco Adventure Park. This was about 20 minutes drive away and we had to meet there at 9:30. It took awhile to get helmets and carabiners and harnesses and I think we finally started sometime after 10am.
The little ones went off with the Beavers Leaders to do the children's course. (Smallest's leader asked him if he needed the loo before he started - as he knows that he always wants to go in the most inopportune moments - he didn't). However, half way through he needed to go and finished the rest of the course with a pained expression on his little face. When he finished round one, Huffle took him to a faraway tree.
We stayed with Small and watched him have his introduction and instruction. It seems very complicated but he picked it all up very quickly. A quick go on the small role and then we walked into the forest to get to the first of three courses. We passed the little ones having their instruction.
The first part of Small's course was high it he did it very well. There was one Mum, one Dad and two leaders.
Smallest went round his course twice and then finished it all with a zip line. He thoroughly enjoyed it and wants to do it again.
The second part of Small's course was much higher and a lot more difficult. Huffle and I went further into the forest and watched Small climb higher and higher. It didn't bother him at all. His only problem was his hands hurt a bit.
One boy decided NOT to do the third course but Small carried on. Even higher and even more difficult but a lot of fun.
Three hours later and he finally came down the big zip line. They both had a wonderful time and did really well. Huffle and I enjoyed watching but were cold after much standing around. We left and came home to warm and have lunch in front of the end of Hocus Pocus.
We Skyped Grandma and Grandad and the boys played on the IPads. We all had a game of Mouse Trap which seemed to last for ages and ages. Small won in the end. Next we played a couple of games Monopoly Deal before sending the boys for showers while we made dinner.
