The Free Nick Jr Montage arrives

I failed to mention that as well as free tickets and reasonably priced food/drink, you also got a free pic sent to you after a few days processing, along with a frame to put it in. Our montage came today. Notice I am purposefully absent from proceedings....

Nick Jr's Jump Up

Today, in sunny Milton Keynes, we visited Nick Jr.'s Jump In festival, which you had to register to get free tickets for. On the day of registration the computer crashed at the last point of application and we assumed we weren't going. A week or so before the event we received an apology message, it wasn Nick Jr's computers that crashed. We're going. Great for the kids, I however was dreading the commercial overload that I assumed would ensue.
I was wrong it was nicely spaced out with not much to spend cash on. Lot's of freebies. The things that you had to pay for were basically food and drink, and it was reasonably priced. A fruit shoot was 80p. I've seen it more expensive in bog-standard newsagents. The kids loved the day as the photographs below indicate. We'll go again so long as nick jr's computers don't fail next time!

July's Mp3 Mix

all in one mp3 file so it plays as a continuous mix tape.

Next month, if things go the same was as they have been this month, you're in for a mixtape that will be fairly bleak!

Meeting Dora before visiting the Smallest Park in the U.K.

This weekend I took Elizabeth to meed Dora the Explorer. She loved it. On the way home we visited the smallest park in the U.K, which is about half a mile away from where we live. Elizabeth would not refer to it as a park, merely "a garden".
