Today it was my birthday & I Got Skylander Giants cap and top, Hero Factory Pyrox, Chocolate Biscuits, Sweets of any kind, Storm trooper top, The Iron Giant (not forgetting my Legoland & Euro Disney tickets.) For my Birthday we did bouncing on the bouncy castle at 10.00, Tennis at 11.00 (while we were playing tennis I challenged Kebby to a half-court tennis match for a full bottle of coke & I won 2-1 against him and won the full bottle of coke,) Electrics at 1.45, Football at 2.00 (I won Hurrah!,) Pool at 3.00, Sorry at 4.00 & monopoly at 8.30. Soo for tea we had cheese burgers the size of your head. For pudding we had jelly & homemade cake.

Jeudi deux Juin

It was Tom’s birthday and we went to the Verdun Gorge for a go on a pedalo which was not a bright idea.   Once we were on we had to pedal quite fast to get through it as we only had an hour and so we did.  Then I saw a waterfall and said Daddy let’s steer it over to that waterfall.  When we got there I was on the wrong side of the pedalo!  And got wet through.  Then we saw another waterfall and it was even colder when we went through.  Mummy did some good geographics on the way back.  When we got back to the car we heard thunder and Mummy and I saw a flash of lightning which shook me to the bone and I was scared.  WE had to go about 50 mph to prevent getting caught.  As we went out for lunch we just had tuna sandwiches and another home-made cake for tea.

Mardi trois Juin 

Today Mummy and I went into town to get some bread and I had to go on my bike which was even harder than walking (which Mummy was). When we were back I found that Amy and Tom were playing at being a dog and its owner.  Amy had painted Tom’s face with face paints.  I wanted to give Mummy a whacky wild wise woman face paint and I did.   Then Mummy painted me an army face paint as I had a gun from my birthday.  While we were doing that we went to the exercise park to warm up and when we had finished the exercises Tom had eaten all his sweets.

Mercedi quatre Juin

We travelled to a place (Antibes).  It was quite a while until we got there, I would say 9 hours.  When we got there I said this is a quite good campsite.  When we had set up camp, me Amy and Tom went to play in the park.  I made a volcano and Amy and Tom went on the swings as I was too big for them and made crashing swings (game made up by Amy).  In the afternoon we walked out onto the main street which was really busy to go to the beach.  I was really excited as I thought it would be a sand beach but when we got there it was just stone beach, but luckily enough there was quite a lot of water and the tide was coming in so we threw stones in and Daddy threw a piece of wood and we had to hit it.  I saw it float away in the distance.  I threw a piece of wood and eventually hit it in the middle.

Jeudi cinq Juin

Today we had to go a long way to the next campsite in Italy!  When we got there we found out it was called Camping River.  When we were all set up we asked to go to the park, we were amazed to find a massive pirate ship and we held secret meetings there.

Vendredi six Juin

Today we went to Pisa to see the leaning tower and have a picnic.  I had a four slice sandwich (cheese, ham, lettuce, tomato) and on the way back Amy had her photograph taken by people from Japan.  Whilst we were walking back we went to the ice cream van.  We were allowed 2 scoops and I got fraise and chocolat.  On the way back we went to Decathlon and bought 2 swimming caps so that Mummy and Daddy could swim in the pool with us.

Samedi Huit Juin

We went to the pool in the campsite and wasn’t cold so we all went in with our swimming caps on.  It was quite deep and we weren’t allowed in the small pools (because it had a mushroom fountain!)  When we dried off Amy, Tom and I went to the park again because we wanted to do another secret meeting.  When we got there was a boy and we didn’t know if he was English, French or Italian.  We had to work out and we found out he was Italian because his mother came and said some words which always ended in A, E, I, O and U.  Then another girl came and we knew straight away that she was Italian because her name was Celia.

Dimanche Neuf Juin

It rained all day and so we did school.  I had to do maths which was quite easy until Daddy gave me equivalent fractions.  We also did ‘until’ and ‘now’ for literacy and last but not least science which was really fun because we had to use cans of fizzy drink and we thought it would squirt when we shook it and didn’t tap it, but it didn’t!

Lundi Dix Juin

We travelled to Ravenna (on the east coast of Italy).  On the way there we watched Hong Kong Phooey which is a quite funny film but I like the music.  We also watched ‘The Pirates’ which was really funny and they had a miniature food fight.  When we got to the campsite we were really excited and wanted to go to the parkas it looked really fun but as usual we couldn’t as we had to help set up camp and it was raining (like hailing down – annoying!)

Mardi Onze Juin

Today we played pirates and Amy pretended to be cutlass Liz, Tom pretended to be Captin’ Birds nest and I was just a pirate. After that we went to a burning hot, sunny beach then we had fajitas for tea.

Mercedi Duos Juin

Today we cycled to the park and played super heroes and so we then had to do school and in school we did ‘literacy’ and ’spelling’. After we had lunch we all cycled for a mile into town to get an ice cream and I got chocolat. After we had to cycle that boring mile back to camp to go to the beach. When we were back we had a scrumdiddilyumtpous dinner.

Jeudi Triese Juin

Today we all drove to Ravenna to see the Basilica & other old buildings it was most fascinating. On the way back we stopped for an ice cream & I had mango. It lasted all morning! In the afternoon we went to the beach.

Vendredi Qrartorse Juin

Today we had school & it was making a mosaic leaning tower of Pisa & for lunch we had bruchetta. Then we all headed down to the beach for 3 whole hours!

Samedi Quinse Juin

Today I had school & it was maths so daddy gave me mind boggling questions=equivalent fractions. Then we all headed to the beach to have lunch. After lunch Amy, Tom & I made a world travelling space ship.

Jour De Pere

Today I woke up & started reading my book. When daddy woke up we gave him our presents to open. Then we walked to the beach & we had a massive swim in the sea. So as always the frightening would come=school. It was only my blog though but I’m still typing my blog at 5.00.
