GETTING<br />
summer<br />
SET FOR<br />
fun<br />
by Bex Maini<br />
The summer holidays are imminent as I write this and I'm part excited and part<br />
intimidated by all those days to fill with fun for the twins! Although they're still<br />
at our childminder every week as I work part time, we will have a lot more days<br />
off together and I've been thinking of plans to keep them occupied. I've started<br />
a list of activities and tried to include some free or cheap things so it doesn't get<br />
too expensive with trips out all the time.<br />
We've already had some summer fun prior<br />
to the schools breaking up with Woodlands<br />
Festival over in Kent, eating watermelon in<br />
the garden (just the smell reminds me of<br />
holidays), trampolining in the sun, playing<br />
in sprinklers (THE best way to cool down!),<br />
learning to ride bikes, playing in the park<br />
(my friend introduced us to Peacehaven park<br />
and it's epic!), BBQs in the garden, puddle<br />
jumping in the garden, fort building on the<br />
sofa...<br />
Some of the things already on my summer<br />
'must do' list are:<br />
Making a bird feeder, bug hunting with<br />
magnifying glasses, a photo challenge<br />
with the kids' cameras, more bike riding to<br />
increase their confidence at Bewl Water and<br />
the Cuckoo Trail, Drusilla's, Knockhatch, fruit<br />
picking at Oast Farm, exploring <strong>Uckfield</strong>'s<br />
nature reserve, Sheffield Park for a picnic and<br />
tree climbing, bubble fun, pony riding...<br />
