Alphabet Dating - I Date!

I really struggled to come up with a date for I. We were going to Wales to visit Kirsty's family so I decided to use those few days for the date. We had an Indoor Picnic on the train (I know that's totally cheating), Italian Pizza and watched I Love You, Man. It wasn't like our usual dates because it wasn't spent alone together but we did watch the DVD in bed together with sweets so that made up for it.

Alphabet Dating - F Date!

For our F date we went to Delamere Forest. We went there 2 years ago for the Gruffalo Trail. This year there was a Stickman Trail which was turned into a short film for Christmas 2015. We thought the film was really cute and we still quote it.
The Stick Man trail was quite short but really interactive with games you can play on the way around so we had a lot of fun. It cost £3 for the pack. We also took a picnic and ate it on a log near a lake. We included Frazzles, Fruit yoghurts and Fizzy drinks in our picnic but to be honest we completely forgot to theme the rest of the food around F! We also watched a Film together when we got back home.
Delamere Forest is one of my favourite places to walk around because it's so secluded. And having fun trails to do makes it extra fun.

The Big Lunch

The Big Lunch happens on a Sunday every year, several of my local parks invited the community to come and have a picnic in the park and they set up music and children's games.
However, people do also have street parties or have some friends over.

I went with my mum and Kirsty to our local park, or as I used to call it, 'Duck Park'. 
The sun was out so it was a really nice, warm day. We took our picnic blanket and an umbrella to block out some of the sun, I get burnt very easily.
There was a local steel band playing throughout the day, a hut selling snacks and drinks, and free ice cream tickets for children.
We had fun watching all of the dogs and listening to the music and I went for a walk around the park afterwards and saw baby geese.
These are some of the photos from the day.
