Sunday 10th December – Fuengirola, Spain
Jory’s 3rd birthday. Racked with guilt that Jory is our only child that has not had a big party for their 3rd birthday, we attempted to make his birthday special. For a few days before his birthday the older two boys were making birthday cards and colouring in the letters for Happy Birthday and the number 3 which we hung about the awning. In the morning we started with a treasure hunt for his presents, some wrapped in drawings as I forgot to buy any wrapping paper. All the boys then went swimming, whilst I slaved away blowing up balloons and making party food, they were really pleased with the result and couldn’t wait to tuck in. We brought out the cake (shop bought I’m afraid) and walked off all the calories along the beach and then rounded off the day by watching his new DVD Ice Age 2.
The following day we went to the Aquarium in Fuengirola, nothing to recommend it over and above any other Sealife Aquarium, but one of those things you have to do to entertain the children. It was a most pleasant afternoon and we timed the entrance well by arriving in time to see most of the exhibits being fed.
After leaving the Aquarium we took a stroll along the small marina, whereupon Cadan managed to fall over and crack his head, blood and all and then get lost, all in the space of 10 minutes. We would not expect anything less from our middle son who was blissfully unaware that he was indeed lost and had no clue as to our whereabouts and really couldn’t see what the fuss was all about. It gives me a sense of foreboding for our trip to Morocco tomorrow!
