I am linking up with Fiona from Country Kids From Coombe Mill, which is all about getting outside with the kids and having fun! That is something we love doing here and try and get out on a regular basis.
We haven't really been outside much this week as I have worked quite a bit and the weather is just hideous so I am linking up an older post of when we went to Lymm Dam in February when the weather was much better than it is now!
Easter holidays are looming fast as well as Megan's Birthday on Easter Monday so we will have lots of outside time the next few weeks, hopefully with better weather!
Saturday 9th February 2013
We spent the afternoon having a lovely walk around Lymm Dam.
It was cold and muddy, but dry so we wrapped up with hats and scarves and headed out.
We took lots of bread to feed the ducks and they certainly enjoyed it, almost as much as Megan and Ben enjoyed feeding them!
Megan was a bit freaked out by the swans, probably my fault as I don't like them, started by a flock of them chasing me years ago at Sale Water Park!
After feeding the ducks we strolled around the dam. It's a lovely walk, over little bridges with little waterfalls, fallen logs for climbing, and a few carved animals to spot too.
Ben was on the hunt for mice. He kept looking for 'mouse holes'!
Megan was looking for things to climb on and even climbed a tree!
We stopped and had a drink and some biscuits and talked about coming back when the weather was warmer for a picnic.
A fantastic afternoon stroll.
We also treated ourselves at 'The Gob Stopper.' This is a lovely sweet shop, with lots of sweets from long ago.
You can't go for a walk round Lymm Dam without stopping at the sweet shop too!
What gorgeous photos looks like you had a lovely day
ReplyDeletethank you, we did x
Deleteove the looking inside the tree picture, and signs of green life back in Feb, these will now have flowered I would think.
ReplyDeleteBen loves having nosy in trees. I would hope they had flowered by now but with this cold weather, who knows? x
DeleteWhat a great time you all had exploring a beautiful place. I'm not surprised there was tree climbing involved, that's definitely a favourite past-time for our children. Thanks for linking to Country Kids.
ReplyDeleteTree climbing is fab, megs is getting good at it now and I am sure Ben won't be long in following x
DeleteIt looks lovely there. Lots of climbing and walking to be done. And finished off with sweets! Perfect!
