Spinning, Sliding & Surprise Puppy Pals

Today was all about active play, big laughs, and joyful surprises, as the boys excitedly requested a return trip to the Indoor Soft Play—a clear favourite from recent outings! 🧸🎈 Their enthusiasm was contagious as they chatted about how much they had loved it last time and couldn’t wait to dive back into the fun.

We attended the lunchtime session, and to our delight, the space was calm and quiet, with just a few older children around their age—perfect for relaxed, energetic play! 🏃‍♂️ The boys made a beeline for the dizzybikes, hopping on with huge smiles and challenging me to a race around the track 🚴‍♂️. Naturally, I joined in, and it quickly turned into a giggle-filled competition that had us all breathless from laughter!

Next up was some spontaneous team sports fun, where they joined a few new friends for rounds of football ⚽ and basketball 🏀, showing off great teamwork and encouraging each other. The room soon echoed with excitement during a high-energy game of hide-and-seek tag—and yes, they found me hiding (not-so-subtly), which triggered a burst of joyful laughter and playful chasing 😂.

Once they’d conquered the challenge, the boys dashed off to the zip wire for zooming thrills and the giant ring for some spinning madness. Their adventurous spirits were in full swing, and it was such a joy to watch their confidence and creativity unfold in play.

With the sun shining and spirits high, we decided to continue our day at the outdoor park, making the most of the gorgeous weather ☀️🌳. On the way there, they treated me to an impromptu dance performance 💃🕺—complete with spinning tricks and superhero poses that had passers-by smiling. Once at the park, the discovery of a grassy hill turned into a new game, with the boys sliding down in style and striking dramatic poses as they went 🤸‍♂️.

And just when the day couldn’t get any better… in trotted Loki the dog 🐕—a furry friend out for his lunchtime walk! The boys were absolutely thrilled and showed so much courage as they gently approached and even gave him a few confident pats 🐾💖. Their faces lit up with excitement as they ran alongside Loki across the field, sharing a special moment of connection and play.

To wrap up the afternoon, W hopped onto the spinning tire swing—his all-time favourite—spinning with pure glee as the wind rushed past 🌪️. Not long after, S invited W to join him on the regular swing, and the two shared a sweet, playful moment pushing each other back and forth, ending the day with laughter and togetherness 💕.

Today was a wholesome, heart-warming adventure filled with movement, connection, and outdoor joy—a perfect mix of imagination, friendship, and sunshine fun! 🌟🌈
