Stour Valley Nature Reserve

General 

Elliott was very good again today.

Activities

After breakfast Elliott played some Clarinet and Piano with Grandpa before we packed to visit Stour Valley Nature Reserve near Bournemouthwith Granny and Grandpa. When we got to the Nature Reserve there was a visitor centre (The Kingfisher Visitor Centre) where there was a pond for pond dipping. So the first thing we did was see what we could find pond dipping (we found water snails, some larvae, water boatmen and various other pond life):

There was also an outdoor table tennis table by the visitor centre so we played some table tennis with Grandpa:

Then it was time for a picnic lunch:

We had ham and cheese sandwiche

After lunch we went for a walk by the River Stour to see what wildlife we could find and we saw some Butterflies, Dragonflies, Reed Warblers, Moorhens and other birds:

After we'd been walking for a while we turned back and headed back to the Kingfisher Visitor Centre where we had drinks (Elliott had a Hot Chocolate). Then we headed home and relaxed for an hour or so before tea watching Marvel: Agents of Shield. We had spaghetti bolognese for tea and then Elliott had a bath, brushed his teeth and got ready for bed. Then it was time for bed and he read more of "George's Secret Key to the Universe" before going to sleep.
