+*+Happy birthday Ben+*+

For Ben's birthday we went to Alton Tower's for the day .
It was a bumpy bus ride and Ben gets travel sick so we were busy making sure Ben wasn't sick but it was Daisy who ended up being sick on me and we didn't even know she was travel sick ! but we do now .
Both the pixies were fine once we got off the bus and were both in complete amazement at Alton Towers and they wondered along with wide eyes.

Me and Daisy having a ride on a goat.

Ben chose a duck.

Wide eyed with wonder.

Ben loved the big teddy, Daisy on the other hand was a bit wary .

Another furry friend.

The new Sealife Centre called Shark bait reef was brilliant the pixies really enjoyed it. Ben was particularly excited to see the sharks.

We watched these guys being fed.

Ben spent some of his birthday money on a bucket of sharks and a pirate figure and Daisy got a ball.

Pixies enjoying their picnic. ( we avoided all the overpriced junk food by taking a massive picnic).

We didn't go on lots of rides Ben was quite happy just to watch .

Me and Ben did go on the pirate version of the tea cups and the ride operator saw Ben's 3 badge so he got everyone to sing happy birthday to him while whizzing round on the tea cups which made Ben's day and for some reason made me shed a tear !

cable cars

Making friends with a robot.

On the way back we avoided a big long bus ride by stopping off at Nana and grandads for tea and the pixies enjoyed moving all Nana's garden ornaments and playing with all the stones in her garden .

We didn't have birthday cake as it was so late when we got home the pixies went straight to bed. so we are going to have it tonight when daddy gets back from work.
