Moors Valley Country Park

General

Elliott was really good today. He did fall off his bike 3 times, but each time after initial upset, he got up, dusted himself off quickly and carried on. Also on the way out of Moors Valley Country Park I accidentally drove through the barrier (which fortunately it was designed for so no damage to it or the car) and Elliott was very upset and worried I'd get in to trouble with the police, but we told the people running the park and they were very understanding and I told him it was an example of where it's good to be honest (as we could have driven straight off and they seemed quite surprised we hadn't).

Activities

In the morning we went to Moors Valley Country Park to meet up with Matt, Harry and Bertie Higgins. We started the day off in the adventure playground which was a lot of fun:


Then we had packed lunch of honey sandwiches and bear fruit:


After lunch Elliott and Harry got their bikes out and rode around the lake there while Bertie followed the Superworm trail on the same route. After the trail finished Elliott and Harry did a lot of cycling in the open spaces there and Elliott fell off his bike a couple of times and has a scratch on his chest. However he was absolutely fine and very much enjoying himself:


After we left Moors Valley and we'd sorted out the accident with the barrier we stopped at the park in Fordingbridge with the Higgins boys where we played some football and Elliott and Harry rode their bikes around a skate park. Elliott was quite cautious and sensible on his bike in the skate park, but by the end he had mastered riding up and down the gentler ramps and was rightly pleased with himself. After we'd said goodbye to Matt, Harry and Bertie we went back to Granny's house where, due to how muddy he'd got cycling around, Elliott had his bath before tea time and we also trimmed his nails. Once he was clean and had put on some clean clothes he had spaghetti bolognese for tea before he read some of his Wolverine book before bed time.
