I don't want to miss a thing

 24th June 2021

Due to having problems falling to sleep last night, I got up at 8am to see both my mum and dad reading their books. They seemed to have had a good time.

As we headed to the car, the weather hadn't made it's mind up. It looked like rain however, it was quite hot. On our way to Sizergh Castle, we had sunshine, rain and cloud. Fortunately, when we arrived at Sizergh Castle, the sun was out and it was quite hot. I had a little snooze but managed to wake up in time for a walk around the gardens of the house - which were amazing; especially the triangle-shaped trees - before stopping for a picnic. After the picnic we went for a lovely however, quite long - I think the length surprised both mum and dad - walk. At points, mum had to carry me as dad carried the pushchair over difficult terrain. The walk was worth it as, once at the top of a huge hill, the view was stunning. I could see into the valley below plus the hills in the distance. Life seemed brilliant however, just then, mum pushed my pushchair into a unseen hole on this grassy hill. I went crashing to the ground however, I was unhurt. I did cry a bit as it was quite scary plus, I think mum hurt her leg.

Once back at the carpark, we stopped for a cold drink and an ice cream. I love cold water; it was supposed to be my mums but, I loved it so much I drank a lot of the water myself.

After Sizergh castle, we went to Kendal to have a look around even more shops. Mum bought some of her favourite crisps and looked in other shops. I have had enough of shops and I didn't to look around while sitting in my pushchair. Mum and dad saw this therefore dad sat with me on a bench while mum looked around the shops. I enjoyed this as I got to wave to the people who walked by. We didn't spent too long here and soon we were back at the carpark. Before we set off, dad ordered a Chinese takeaway to be picked up in Ambleside. As we drove off, I decided to sleep in the car so that I would be 'full of beans' for our final night at the flat. Even though I don't like shopping, I decided to stay awake in Kendal as I didn't want to miss a thing.

We got back to the flat, Chinese in hand, and I set to my final evening of play. I've loved my time here and, whilst being here, I learnt a new skill. I have managed to walk quite a few steps without falling over!

I wonder when I will be back?
