Jack's first holiday

Hello again, nice picture isn't it...just one of a number of pics of my damaged suitcase following my recent trip to Majorca. We flew with bmibaby who by now will have a nice letter telling them to cough up.

Another pic of my lovely knackered case

 

And another...bored yet?

 

 

This was near the end of the holiday, look at Jack's eye, he tried turning over halfway down the slide & cut his eye...needless to say he is fine & 5 minutes later was running around again as if nothing had happened.

 

Amazing what amuses kids..a big straw & you get big smiles

 

Give them a big straw AND a beer mat & they're in heaven! 

 

Jack obviously started early..wondering what the hell these little drink umbrella's are for

 

1 bucket & some seawater = very wet Jack

 

Quiet after a day in the sun ( with plenty of sun cream of course )

 

This holiday lark is soo tiring

 

Chilling out at Sam's bar after a hot day

 

This sand sculpture was amazing, a 3 headed dragon with fire in its nostrils...

 

and a very eery looking castle in the forest

 

Back to the sunshine again, Jack loved the pool better than the beach which suited us just fine, bloody sand just gets everywhere.

 

Jack having fun on another slide (not the eye splitting slide), I think this was our first evening.

 

The hotel was average but you get what you pay for, Nic didn't really like the food but I thought it was okay. The housekeepers were crap though. We had rain for about half the time we were there but I'd rather be in Majorca with the rain than Coventry anyday, it was still boiling hot when it rained. One night we had an amazing lightning storm, it was better than any light show i've ever seen, forked lightning lighting up the place like we were in a war zone...cool!

The holiday was a nice break from the norm, Jack kept us on our feet for the first few days until Nic's parents got there then they allowed us to have a bit of rest and the chance to eat our dinners.

Busy busy busy so will catch up again soon...hope you are all well, unlike me, I have a killer sore throat, might even have to go to doctors soon feels like laringytis i had last year..take care x
