A week in Sherwood Forest

We've just come home from a week with my parents in Sherwood Forrest. Ben's anxiety levels were sky-high the whole week and he was very needy and quite hard work a lot of the time. I think he enjoyed it in his own way though. We swam lots and Ben loved walking through the place to 'animal corner' to feed the 'giggies' There were sheep, a guinea pig, several rabbits and three wild boar which he loved. Each day we would save our food scraps and take them down to feed the animals. Anything the rabbits and guinea pig could have went to them and everything else went to the boar. Ben thought it was hilarious when the boar fought over the food and squealed at each other.

Tom and Harry made friends with a couple of other kids there who were in the next door cabin to us. Tom had his first holiday romance and is already missing Beth who is apparently also missing him. They've chatted on MSN already! The boys spent almost the entire week with Beth and her brother Adam and another girl they met on site called Gemma. They were either swimming, playing at the adventure playground, building a huge den in the woods, hanging out in the play barn (often in the little kids ball pit) or playing Uno etc.
