One expensive day

Last weekend Nicole took off to Butlins at Bognor Regis for Bekie's
Hen night and by the state she returned in I can deduct that they all
had a good time.

Well, this meant I had to entertain the kids, so we decided to go to
Tides in Deal for a splash around and then for a Scoot around the sea
front at Ramsgate, sounds good Ah.

We got to tides in great excitement and rushed in for some splashing
around in the waves and flying down the slides. We also had a couple
of games of Shark and fishes where I chase the Kids / Fishes around
the pool.

Then Georgia decided to jump in the pool from the highest ledge, Jed
was looking at it and said "No way am I doing that!" so flippantly I
said "Well Jed, If you do I will buy you that 100 pound Star Wars Lego
toy you want". Thinking there is no way he would ever do it as it was
twice his height up from the water. My mistake, I have never seen him
move so fast. Out of the pool and straight up to the ledge, one quick
look at me to suggest, 100 pound Star Wars Lego toy, Right? and leapt
straight off. Not only that the cheeky monkey grabbed his knees in
his first ever bomb. I was a bit gob smacked to say the least, when
his head popped out of the water he said "Yay! 100 pound Lego toy".
Not my best parenting moment but and can honestly say I'm proud of the
little fella on two counts 1, He confronted his fear and 2, He totally
played me the little sod.

Anyway, we got changed and headed out to the car to find a parking
ticket on the window for 50 pounds. In our excitement to get into the
pool I didn't notice the postage stamp sized Pay and Display signs.
Played again! but I'm not so proud of Dover f#$king council.

Hey ho, can't wait to help Master Jed I Silk build his new imperial
star cruiser and I will post some pictures as we build it.
