Adrenalin Junkies v's Windy Castle Trauma!

The last full day of the holiday and we all went to a theme park, home of Peppa Pig. Cat Girl was very excited! We were hoping that with the majority of children now back at school it would be less busy, we were right. Although we had the queue assist support for the boys we used it twice all day and that was to get onto the Peppa rides as the park's main customers were pre schoolers.  

The first rides we tackled were the bigger rides as the majority had headed for Peppa Pig World. Boy Wonder went on everything with his usual no fear approach. Boy Genius was a little more reserved as was Cat Girl who only liked the little rides. Boy Genius's younger brother required a little height booster being 1-2mm below the height for the big rides. Once on however, he had a great time and became Boy Wonder's adrenalin junkie buddy. 

We had lunch at the cafe near the splash park which was the usual substandard rubbish. The children put on their swimmers and ran around for a while.  They then went on the log flume to finish off the soaking before getting dry. 

This afternoon brought the long awaited Peppa Pig World. Cat Girl was in her element. She bought Superman a Daddy Pig cap which he of course,  loved. Boy Wonder became quite wound up here as it was a lot busier than the rest of the park but he did take Cat Girl on some rides with his pass. There were a couple of occasions here that Boy Wonder ran off at the first suggestion of where we may head next. This is becoming an issue now as he doesn't seem to have any regard for where we are and he is so fast that if we don't immediately follow he is out of sight within seconds. 

We finished the day by going back on the favourite rides. I took the boys on my favourite tea cups ride as I am the 'spinner!' Out of three boys, I made one a bit sick and the other two stagger off. We all then went on the pirate ship  which was great fun! 

Whilst I was 'entertaining' the boys on the big rides, Cat Girl had taken Boy Genius's Dad back to Peppa Pig World as she wanted to go on the Windy Castle. He had gladly accepted as he is not a fan of heights . Superman did try to warn him that Windy Castle was high but he didn't quite get the message. After a short while Superman followed them and found them just getting onto the Windy Castle ride.  This is a cloud carriage with a spinning wheel, a bit like a miniature big wheel. Cat Girl started to spin the wheel and was stopped by big sweaty, white knuckled adult hands gripping the wheel. They went up high and as Cat Girl bounced around in excitement, the responsible adult, who could barely keep his eyes open told her to sit still. Cat Girl enquired as to why his hands were leaking? He explained that he was scared of heights to which she responded 'But you're an adult?!' Needless to say that he was the point of ridicule for the rest of the day as Cat Girl recited the tale over and over! 

We left the park at closing and went on to a pub for tea that had a nice play area in the garden. They also served nice food which was a bonus. Boy Wonder was a little tetchy again by this point but held it together, though ate little.

We finished the night by going back to the caravan and watched Home Alone. In the morning we are traveling home via the little arcade on site and the Ferrari garage in the next town. Here's hoping for a good journey back to reality.
