Wicksteed Park

Wicksteed Park is in Kettering not too far from us. There are some bigger rides for older kids, which Neve and Noah have been on before, and lots of open space. There is a lake too with some swans and ducks.

We wnet along this morning to get some fresh (cold!) air. Nicola, a friend of mine, as an annual pass so it was free to park (usually £6).

We went straight to see the birds and feed the ducks. One of Nicola's friends, Dianne, had bought some bread. But it started to rain so we didnt stay too long and made our way to the play grounds instead. There is a big playground for older kids and a smaller one for toddlers which was partially under cover, so we headed for that. Sam, Nicola's son, went off to play on a little roundabout and Madelyn stood watching ...

 

I thought that she'd be too small to go on it but she proved me wrong, held on tight and had a lovely time!

 





They also had some little wobbly see-saw type things that she loved too. Nicola and I took it in turns to wobble it for Sam and Madelyn and when ever we stopped she wriggled about to make us do it again.

She also had a quick go on the swing, but not for long as we were getting wet! We headed back to Nicola's for a nice cuppa and doughnuts. Needless to say Madelyn fell asleep in the car...again!
