Forest of fun

So last weekend we went to Center Parcs to celebrate my parents’ 40th wedding anniversary. We had never been before but as there are two under-threes in our family it seemed sensible to go somewhere geared up for little ones.  I’m not sure quite what I expected, but I definitely didn’t expect it to feel so peaceful, so natural, so foresty, so un-resorty. We did lots of cycling (and no falling off!), swimming, playing, eating and laughing. We played mini golf and speed Scrabble (a mix of Scrabble and speed dating, involving seven people, three Scrabble sets and a stopwatch, obviously) we had a family photo shoot and a go on a pedalo, we saw ducklings and pheasants and red squirrels, and we generally had a brilliant time. I would highly recommend it!
