Adventures at Bluewater

We never really have the time to pop to Bluewater and have fun. But we did after our trip to Darent. We found hamster balloons that was totally adorable. Shame their ears didn't quite blow up at all - just tiny nubs. Then we found adorable Batman onesies for likkle babies and scary looking Hello Kitty teddies. They were really terrifying - maybe they were on drugs or something? I do love my Hello Kitty teddies but i definitely had to pass on these freakish ones.. eww. *Shudder*  

There was a huge Hello Kitty outside you could put your face in so it made up for it a little bit. And a penguin.

On the bus home we left little penguin wind-up toys for someone to find and maybe hopefully get found by a kid and make them smile :)

It was nice to have a different scenery for once and run riot and be six years old again. Especially when the Build-a-Bear workshop have My Little Ponies in! And Pinkie Pie! So i had to get one. It was amazing - a dream come true! Obviously she was named Pinkie Pie and has many outfits! Pink and sparkly.

Happy Birthday to our Nephew! - with added cake!

Our Nephews Birthday!

As you have probably noticed we don’t involve our nephew on our blog for various reasons and our own beliefs but we can’t give his Daddy a birthday message and not him so:

Happy Birthday to our Beautiful Nephew!

He makes every moment with him amazing, hilarious and filled with love and happiness!

For the first time Bear and Penguin got to make his cakes and we were sooo excited about doing them. His first one was obviously for his actual birthday with his family. So we make a one tier Sonic cake! He chose the filling colour – it was blue… duh!!!

He absolutely loved it and went crazy, which made our day and the afternoon’s hard-work pay-off!

Looking Good and Feeling Fabulous!

Always Around To Help Our Auntie Elaine!

Our Auntie Elaine was in the middle of doing a Make-Up Course and needed some female models. So of course there is three women in this household so that’s an easy three more on a peaceful sunny Sunday. Most of all it was nice to relax with the girls - have a laugh and catch up :) 

Here’s Elaine (She’s Lovely and a great Make-Up Artist!!!)

She did do a really, really good job. She did a green/ blue on Carol, a pink on Penguin and Purple on Bear. One part of it was that we needed to have red lips for her to practice. It was rather funny as Bear has ticklish lips. We were all red and looking fabulous J

(Ignore Bears' Heart Monitor - she just has too much love to give!)

All in all it was great fun and she did such a great job we brought Make-Up again (On our Bluewater trip). We went to her place of work and brought the primer, foundation, Red Lipstick and Nude Lip Gloss she used on us. She definitely left an impression.

After we looked all glam with nothing to do and no where to go we decided to take a random walk to the shops down the road to buy something, we had to get out and show the world our new prettiness. We ended up buying a drink and some peculiar Extra Bubblemint. Well at the very least we got some fresh air and a little bit of exercise to stretch our legs with.

We were both very impressed with what she had done, and hope she gets all the praise and credit for the work she puts in with her other customers! It’s nice to see her happy in a job she both loves and is AWESOME at!

Enjoy a funny group photo!

Toys f’R’iggin Us!!!

Oh heaven is indeed a place on earth!

We love to be children! So yes… yes please… let us loose in one and come and find us (If you can!) in a few hours!

We had to go and get our nephews cake toppers for his birthday and pick up something ultra cool and awesome for Harley to give to him!

We found a Sonic and a Shadow Fully Articulated Figures that he would love! He loves playing with Sonic and Shadow and they were big! Suits the huge imagination he has. And even better was that they are plastic so can go in the bath with him. It was a great find and we were worried we would get something that Harley didn’t like or that someone else had got him so it was a very tense trip until we sorted it all!

As the boys were busy playing with the new Wii U console we ventured around and found all sorts of wonders, Tatty Bears, Disney Princess’, Masses of Lego and… a strange polar bear with glowing blue eyes. I can assure you now that polar bears don not look like that or do anything scary. They are lovely.

Bear did have a heart drop moment when she found a My Little Pony Pinkie Pie bag and little figure. They had to come home with us too without argument! Some (MATTHEW!) said I wouldn’t use it but he was proved wrong as its now used as an everyday bag… where appropriate anyhow!

We did come to the amazing conclusion that we could happily live in Toys’R’Us.

Trosley Trek with our Kev!

Bear, Penguin and their friend Kevin went out on a sunny day for sunshine and exploration at Trosley Country Park!

We found weird shaped sticks. Kevin had “The Claw”, Penguin had a Pirate Sword and Bear had a long sword. It was rather amusing for grown adults to hit stuff and mess around with nature. It really is the small things in life that entertained us on our super long nature walk/trek!

Especially when we find a sign that reads “Easy Access” – highly entertaining!

Then after the “Easy Access” fiasco we found… “Sheep Not Grazing”… I mean what does that even mean!? So naturally we took turns to be the (Apparently Crazy!!!) Sheep that according to some nature wood sign maker wasn’t grazing.

Got wood? Baaa!

Not far out of Trosley Park you can find a historic burial place called Coldrum Long Barrow. I wont bore you with the history but if you are interested or even a slight bit curious here a link to some information.

Don’t say we aint helpful… xD

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coldrum_Long_Barrow

On the higher part of the site is a tree where people have tied photos, wishes for the departed and general tassels and ribbons that look absolutely sublime if you ever get to see it! It truly is a mind- blowing experience. We didn’t know that this existed so we didn’t come prepared at all. So Bear ended up tied a Parma-Violets Wrapper onto a branch with a yellow hair band and Penguin tied on her beaded ring that she made. We feel like we had some sort, it may be small, input into the experience that others will now see.

We found quite a handily placed map and headed for Trottiscliffe; the town just south of Trosley Country Park. Somehow on the way I was still hitting stuff… including walls… until I broke a part (Very Much by Accident!!!). The stick had to go!

After a few hours trekking and seeing the sights and landmarks we found a lovely deserving paradise, Especially for Kevin. Yes we found a pub! The George – it was beautiful and nicely situated… I mean if you were ever going to build a pub in a perfect location you would have to build it on top of this one…

Kevin said he got a surprise for us… It was a little worrying but mainly exciting. Turns out it was ice –cream!!! A beautiful collation of mouth watering ice-cream, at the top it had Strawberry as if it was an actually chilled strawberry – the flavour was so intense and gorgeous. Then Vanilla – with actual vanilla pod seeds in it – ending with the rich velvety chocolate. We were in heaven! Especially when Kevin gets cheesy chips so we can mix them together. Verdict: Warm and cold tastes good together and yes even cheesy chips and Vanilla ice-cream xD.

To get back into Trosley Country Park we could either go back the way we came from, go around in a complete circuit or head up a hill that Kevin told us about. Somehow he didn’t stress enough the sheer steepness of this hill! Most the way we had to reply on rabbit holes and mole moulds to kind of use as a ladder to get to the top, even taking a few pit-stops. Mostly to admire the view and to have a daydream and snuggle – we must have looked crazy! We had climbed so high we could see the shore line of Dover in the View and every town in-between! Looking back it looks like we were facing a cliff drop but it was definitely the steepest hill we had ever climbed up!

There is never a park we pass that we could ever resist! Our inner child just HAS to slide and swing and obstacle like we are 10 years old again! Ah the joys! We went backwards down the slide, down in pairs and groups. But then Kevin mentioned a wavy slide that he had discovered.

Goodbye straight normal slide…

                                                            HELLO wavy amazing slide!!!

We went forwards, backwards, upside down you name it. Even power slided like rock stars!!! We were there for other an hour. There was even our favourite type of swing!

AHHH HEAVEN!!!

What a friggin day!!!

What a friggin day indeed!!!
