AM & PM
Making the most of what looked like a nice day, I got Zack and I dressed then out the door for around 9:30am. I wasn’t totally sure of where to go, I then thought of a place near us called Neumann’s Flashes. I’ve been once before on my bike and it’s a nice walk around the lake and there are a few bird hides all around, which I though Zack might like. As we set off walking I was rather thankful for few muddy puddles, as Zack wanted to go right and we needed to go left but as the puddles where all on the way we needed to walk he quickly changed his mind. As we got to the gate in the fence, he went through first and then proceeded to hold it shut and told me to wait there. Eventually he let me through and we walked on, it probably took us a good half hour to do what’s the shortest part of the walk, this was mostly because Zack wanted to stop at every puddle along the way. We go down the first side path to the first bird hide, but it was the next one I really wanted to show him as it’s on what looks like a little pier, and I imagine it has a good view. Unfortunately it looked rather busy with serious bird watchers and knowing Zack wouldn’t be quiet I thought we’d best give it a miss this time. So we carried on walking and stopped at all the other bird hides along the way. About half way around Zack wanted to go on my shoulders, slightly reluctantly as he was covered in mud from all the puddles I said yes and he stayed up there until we got back near the car park, and that was only because he wanted to walk down the stairs. I wasn’t really sure how far we’d walked or how far he had but he was obviously tired as he was asleep by the time we’d driven home, it was a little earlier than usual but just meant he could have a longer nap. I made him some lunch for when he woke up and then we just played inside for a while. Later on we got out and on his bike, only around the estate we live on but it was the furthest he’s been on the bike. Back at home we had nice FaceTime with Grandad and Granny, before I started tea. Then just the usual bed time routine.
