;D I can't stop smiling ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Yesterday i took my Daughter, and 6 mindees ( aged 11, 5,3,2,2,and 1) to Chester Zoo. As we were leaving the indoor picnic area a lady came running up to me and said " Sorry to bother you, but i just had to say you have the best behaved children i have ever seen!" I was so chuffed! Had to text all the parents to tell them!
I can't stop grinning ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Well done you. That was no mean feat!!! Chester zoo is massive and you did really well keeping them all behaved.
I have an annual membership to the zoo and we are usually there once a week even if it is just for a play on the playground. You will have to let me know if you are going to visit again and maybe we could meet up!!

That would be lovely Amanda! How much is it for membership?
I promised to take them back because we only got to see half of it because we were running out of time. Although it was about a 90 mile round trip!
Thank you for your lovely comments. I was so pleased with them that i had to take them into the gift shop and treat them all!
Infact they have all been amazing all week so i have really enjoyed half term!

I have a membership for me and my middle daughter (my eldest is not interested as it is not cool to go to the zoo) and it is free for Jay. Can't quite remember what I pay but I think I worked out I need to go 3 or 4 times for it to be worth it. As we go most weeks it is well worth the money. the journey is not too long for me, about 25 mins and I always time it to get there about 9.45 before it opens at 10. That way it is usually quiet or we go for a play after school. we will be going to this when it starts. it was fab last year. www.chesterzoo.org/frostfair/default.aspGlad you have had a good half term. Mine started yesterday but as I only have my three it will not be too manic. Amanda xx |

Well done   You are proud and rightly so - make sure you put this down in your journal and or newsletter (for the parents and OFSTED to see) and that you pass the compliment onto the children too! What a lovely end to a day. |

You are more than welcome!
Any time you fancy a few more kids just let me know and I will quite cheerfully send you my youngest (age nearly 3). I could quite happily have sent him to boarding school today . ;D
