Just Add Water

Today was a lovely, warm, sunny summer day that has been so rare this year.  We made the most of it with a visit to Alnwick Gardens.  It is a beautiful place to visit at any time, but best visited when the weather is warm enough that the children can enjoy the water fountains and dry out quickly afterwards. 



 

I wonder if you can guess what happened here?




There is even watery fun to be had with the pretty  colour changing sinks in the bathroom

But not staying dry for long
 
 
As the afternoon turned cooler, we headed up to the beautiful upper gardens, where there was more water fun of the less drenching, more plodging variety and the children enjoyed paddling down the many watery paths.
