Michael abseiling

Easter Hols 2008

Well the Easter hols went off swimmingly. We had a fantastic time at Center Parcs in Sherwood Forest. I was a bit concerned before we went that we might be bored, not being the most outdoorsy family. But I needn't have worried. Michael was really looking forward to abseiling. I have cut out my soto voice comments at the beginning of the video as they are rather on the blue side. But he did it. By the end of the session Phil and Stephen were coming down like the S.A.S. My feet stayed firmly on the ground the whole trip. Stephen and Phil however couldn't get enough of heights. They went on something called the High Ropes which seemed to involve a lot of walking on very high wires, and leaping into space. I couldn't watch.

Michael had a great time. We went swimming, bowling, he made a teddy ( Stephen Gerrard ) and designed a picture for a mug. Stephen went climbing and laser clay shooting. And we all did the family Laser Shoot which was paint balling without the paint. My treat was a wonderful massage at the Spa. We would definitely go again!
