Katie's first holiday

We had a lovely time on holiday last week. We took Katie away to Wales to stay in a caravan near Llanberis. Caravans have definitely changed - this one was nicer than most hotels we've stayed in. It had 2 bedrooms, a hallway, big lounge, a kitchen much nicer than ours, central heating and a very sparkly bathroom with power shower. The campsite was cool too - bit like a mini centre-parks with nice pool, sauna etc- overlooked by mountains on one side and a lake on the other. Overall - it was a good place to be.

So off we went on holiday.



Journeys are always tiring but there was time for a nap.



The weather was pretty good - nice and bright most of the time but really cold. Katie spent much of the time in proper clothes (instead of sleepsuits) which we think made her look more grown-up. She particularly liked her yellow fleecey hoodie, which had a little bit at the front perfect for catching dribble.


Katie did have one small complaint with our accomodation - her bath was a little small. She wasn't very keen to start with but after a little explanation from her dad she made the best of it.





She did have chance to stretch her legs a little more when we took her for her first swim. She was really good (that's well-behaved not good at swimming). Although the pool made her feel very small we think she felt safe and secure with daddy.





She looked extremely content afterwards.



We visited lots of nice places - God did a good job when he made this part of the world!



She was also visited by her cousin Rosy and her uncle Robert who were very nice and good fun.



That's the great thing about these places - the grown-ups can sit and chat whilst the children play.

We had fun inside the caravan too particularly in the mornings. Katie is definitely a morning person - this is her happiest and most playful time. She's been practising hard and is certainly getting better at holding things and likes to try to put them in her mouth too.


All in all we had a lovely time but its always nice to be back home too.
