Not speeding, but still going...

Just one layout completed yesterday but that's good going, considering we had to go to the optician's in the morning, my mum was round half the afternoon and we went to Adventure Island in the evening.

The photo is of Casey and I've been wanting to scrap it for a long while but never really knew what papers etc, Plus, I couldn't think of a title so I asked my UKS team mates for help and Marja (who is the queen of great titles) came up with this one.



We picked up Danielle's new glasses yesterday and she's struggling a bit with them. After a change of opticians (we're with Boots now), the man there discovered that Danielle also has a very slight squint in her right eye. It's not noticeable enough to see when you look at her, but it needs to be corrected. He's hoping that the right prescription will do it, without the need for patching, but is going to monitor her regularly to assess. Anyhow, the upshot is these glasses are VERY strong (+5 in the right and +3-point-something in the left) and it's going to take her eyes a few days to adjust. I keep catching her with her head tipped right back so that she can see out from underneath the glasses rather than through the lenses.

We went to Adventure Island in Southend last night and the glasses were soon forgotten about though. Casey didn't want to come (??) so stayed with her nan but Danielle and Charlie loved it. We met up with friends there & they have a daughter 3 mths older than Dan, so the 3 girls had a blast - they felt very grown up because it was the first time they were tall enough to go on the rides without an adult. They were on all these various trains, elephants etc (going about a mile an hour if that) and they had their arms up in the air like they were on some really scary rollercoaster. The min waltzer was their definite fave and I think they would have just spent the whole few hours on that one ride.
