I took the kids to Chessington World of Adventures today (amusement park right down the road from us), as it was a lovely day and they were doing a special promotion for Nectar points (a loyalty card scheme for one of our supermarkets plus other various shops), so we got a very good deal. It was fairly crowded, though not as bad as Legoland usually is. Still, we did do a bit of waiting to go on the more popular rides, but it all worked out in the end. Alex is finally big enough to go on most of the rides, including some roller coasters - he enjoyed both the Vampyre (what we are queuing for above) and the Dragon's Fury, as well as other rides. As it happened, Sarah went with a friend today as well, but they were both too cool to want to spend to much time with us (or with Katharine's dad, who took them, I suspect).
Here's Olivia waiting for our turn on the swings in the new Wild Asia section (those of you who know Chessington may recognise the swings from when they were part of Beanoland - though they did completely move the dodgems and the bus!).
Anyway, the weather was gorgeous - sunny and warm - which no doubt contributed to the crowds - and we had a lovely day out.
