The Grandchildren Home

And now we are three!   Wow! (For archive pictures, Year 1  or Year 2  or Year 3.)

The weather was poor on their birthday, so treats were postponed to the following two days.
The main treat was a visit to Thomas Land at Drayton Manor, which has a playground and a small zoo as well as the main theme park based on the "Thomas the Tank Engine" books.

Rachel, Elizabeth, and an unknown little friend in the playground.

Who wants to look at Chimps in the Zoo when there is a bar to swing on?
Both pictures taken by their father.

Rachel is more reserved but enjoyed swinging.

Elizabeth is more adventuresome and enjoyed being up side down.
(Move your mouse over the picture to see it up side down - I couldn't resist it).

It is difficult to get pictures when the children are on a ride.  Mike managed to get this one as the girls enjoy a ride on the boat with their mother.

All aboard for a ride in Harold the helicopter (which even Grandpa can enjoy)!.
