The weeks just seem to fly by. When the weekends come, we love to spend time together as a family and put the TO DO list away for a few days. When it is nice out, we enjoy spending the day at the Bowood House and Gardens. The kids love the various playgrounds there! They have the tall adventure playground, obstacle courses, a pirate ship, a sand area, boat swings and a small playhouse. They also have a zip line, but we have not tried that yet. I wish I knew of places like this in the U.S. Our kids were so used to plastic playgrounds with the special soft ground in a fenced area. There is something to be said about a large, outdoor playground made of wood.
We pack a picnic lunch, and we usually throw in a soccer ball and a bat and baseballs. They do not play baseball here, so we really get looks when we set up our bases in the field and Dylan cracks a ball with the aluminum bat. Amelia gives it a try, but she would rather be picking flowers. Here are some pictures and a few videos from our fun weekends at Bowood.
Dylan and Amelia love the see saw. Cora was not so sure at first.
And he wonders why I don't trust him with the baby. :)
Where else can you hit baseballs with sheep in the background? England, of course!

Yes, this is what their baby swings look like in public parks. It made me a little nervous at first, but with the blanket behind her, she was fine.
We definitely got our money's worth out of our season's pass! Even better, we have lots of wonderful memories of playing together as a family.
