Easter in Leyland 1

We spent the Easter holidays visiting Zachary's Grandparents in Leyland, Lancashire. Here's how Zachary spent most of his time...

Zachary spent ages emptying the cupboards, then putting it all away again.

Here we are at a nearby farm, where Zachary had a wonderful time petting farm animals, playing at the playground and even feeding a little lamb (Zachary cried because we wouldn't let him drink from the lamb's bottle).

Zachary didn't want to stop repeatedly climbing this ramp

We headed to Chester Zoo for the day and Zachary very much enjoyed seeing all sorts of animals, especially the lions at feeding time and the funny monkeys. The monorail passed by above our heads every 10 minutes and Zachary stopped each time to watch and wave.

Who's a cheeky monkey?

Zachary spent an afternoon at an indoor soft play area in Leyland. He loved climbing high with Grandma Jeanette (who had even more fun climbing through the small spaces), using the slides and bouncing on the trampoline.

He didn't realise he was quite so high until he reached this viewpoint

Weeee!

Zachary found Uncle Bar hilarious in his pyjamas...

Fun With the Lewarnes

Zachary had a wonderful time on Mother's Day when we went for a bike ride along the canal with Bumble and Grandad. He wasn't too heavy on the back of Mummy's bike, although we couldn't quite make it up Stoke Hill on the way back.

All ready to go!

Stopping at Turf Locks for a rest

Here's Zachary at the soft play area, 'Bear Feet', in Kingsteignton. He could climb up to the top himself and sit down at the top of the slide but he decided he liked it up there and didn't want to slide down. It took a long time to coax him into taking the plunge.

Here are a couple of videos of his soft play adventures...
