Lochore Meadows

Cold day today with not much planned. Mummy busy sewing or something so Daddy and I headed through to Fife to check out the new park at Lochore Meadows with Gran and Grandad. It's pretty good, although Daddy keeps saying that until they get another zip-line here, it'll never be as good as it was when he was a kid! Still, that didn't seem to stop him racing me on the concrete slide. He won... Until I realised his slope was steeper than mine and when I used it I won!

Disneyland Paris... Again

Yay! Disneyland again! We're back from Disneyland. 5 days this time and I wish it were longer. I wish it were forever! But Mummy and Daddy think that 3 days is actually enough. They're so old.

An early flight out on Sunday morning meant getting out of bed at 3am to get to the airport on time. I at least managed a wee snooze on the bus from Charles de Gaulle to Disneyland and we were in the park by about 11am. Woohoo!


It was very cold this time. Much colder than we were expecting and no one had brought gloves or hats! We spent a lot of the first day rushing between shops so that Mummy could get herself and me some gloves and hats. More for herself than me - I'm not going to feel the cold in Disneyland! While Mummy was looking over the (rather expensive) clothing, I could play with the build-your-own Mr Potato Head!


The dance routine was great and included the Incredibles. Daddy really liked Elastigirl!




Frontier Land had become Halloween Land for the time of year and there were loads of pumpkin people there. A very good effort by Disney!




And we made sure Christopher Columbus got his photo taken too!













And then there are the rides! We can't take photos on all of them but Daddy did get a few photos on some of the more tame rides...





In this photo, you can see Daddy holding Christopher Columbus and me holding our new addition, Yoditch!


Disney's attention to detail is fab. Just being in the place is great fun.





Can you spot Mummy here?











And then there are the characters!








But all too soon it was home time again. And I got to sleep on the bus again!


And that's it for Disneyland. For a while at least. I will be too old to stay and play for free next year... So we'll need to go to Legoland instead!

Dysart Geocaching

We went to Dysart today with Gran and Grandad. This was largely because the geocaching website wanted as many people as possible to log a cache today and Daddy wanted to be part of it. We come to the park at Dysart quite regularly as it's a great park with the option to walk down to the beach or along the coast if you want. There's a cache here in the woods just off the park that we'd never been to before so today was the day. And what a treat it was! We've been coming here for years but never knew the superb bit of woodland existed. We walked along the coast to the woods then into the woods, where we found the biggest monkey puzzle trees we've ever seen. Given how slowly these things grow, I reckon these ones are prehistoric! Then further into the woods (and very near the cache site) we found loads of wooden sculptures (as well as plenty of those grey squirrels). What a fab wee find! See the things that geocaching does for you?! And the event was a new record!
