In the spirit of the last post, Huffty and I had a fabulous day out together yesterday.
Boogle was competing in a cheer leading competition in Nottingham so that left the doorway open for Huffty and I to spend some time together.
Being with both the kids is the norm but being in charge of just one of them makes life so much easier.
The car was in to have some work done, so Huffty and I took the train to the theme park and then rattled off one ride after another until our fast track tickets were exhausted. Standard queues for most of the good rides were in excess of an hour, so the fast track tickets did their job.
After three hours of Huffty's delight it was time to pick the car and a sizable bill to match.
I hit pain on the way home and had to rest so, after a brief snooze, I offered Huffty the choice of football in the garden or Shrek 3 in 3D. His choice of Shrek was an enlightened one. I have never seen him so engrossed in film before. It is a jolly romp that pays more than lip service to its 3D tag and I thought it worth watching just for the effects, which were stunning.
We shared the whole day just having fun and eating things that we shouldn't. It was a good opportunity to relax have fun and enjoy the father and son thing. In other words, I spoilt him rotten and feel no shame.
Meanwhile Boogle's team notched up another second place in the competition, well done to her and I hope that Kitten had as good a day with Boogle as I did Huffty. I get the feeling that mine was the better end of the deal though!
