We headed down to my Dad's first on Sunday and spent the afternoon / night there...It was wonderful for H to see his Grandpa - he and H get on so well and there tons of love between them - although H just doesn't like his moustachy kisses! It was great to see Dad looking so well in his 83rd year - they had a ball playing tennis and football at the park! Can you believe that! I hope I'm that active and well when I get (fingers crossed!) to my 80s!
Then down to the Brecons...H hit it off straight away with another couple of kids (aided of course by a shed load of toys and sports stuff I had taken with us!) and spent all his free time with them...
We canoed, kayaked, climbed, zip-wired, built a raft and "tested it", dragon boated, fenced, built shelters...never a free moment!!! And it was wonderful!
The highlights? Well,...
Seeing H throw himself into making friends Seeing him conquer the climb up to the zip-wire H and I on the Jacobs Ladder and managing to do it! Yeah!!! And me throwing my normally "self conscious" self out the window and giving my best "air-guitar" rendition on the first night at "The Generation Game" H loving kayaking - I love it - in a life long gone I was a kayak and climbing instructor - it was great to see him getting a buzz out of another thing I love but don't have much of an opportunity to indulge in....
Most of all - it was wonderful to spend unbroken quality time with Harry - he was an absolute star and I was incredibly proud of him...
