Abigale's 6th Birthday!

Abigale turned 6 this November!!  We took her ice skating at the mall after school followed by dinner at TGI Fridays.  The following weekend she had her birthday party at Cattle Country with all her school classmates.

October Fun!

Halloween is getting to be more popular in the UK.  I saw more decorations & costumes in the stores this year than last.  Abigale's first costume was Little Red Riding Hood for the gym's Halloween Disco then changed to Alice in Wonderland for her friend's party.  No trick-or-treating this year which was a bummer!!  It was pouring rain that night and we had a fun party to go to instead.   

At the gym's disco Abigale had her face painted

Andy and I had a date night at the Clifton Lido.  The restaurant overlooks the outdoor pool.  We had a great time but the food options were interesting.  Lets just say I drank more than I ate and could barely walk to the car.  Went to see a movie afterwards and stuffed my face in popcorn!
 


drinks were yummy!

Barnacle mussels - yuck!

pigeon - a little on the rare side

One Saturday we stumbled upon Evesham Country Park & Garden Centre.  It has a courtyard of shops, farm shop, restaurants and a miniature railway.  Trains are steam hauled and travel for over a mile through the old apple orchards and around the country park, stopping briefly at Evesham Vale Station.  The kids loved the train ride!!













Another weekend we took a bike ride down the street to the Pirates Cove Miniature Golf.  Abigale had no clue how to play and Cole was a handful at times but we had fun.
