With the school holidays still grinding on for another 2 weeks, we're getting our entertainment anywhere we can find it. On Saturday I took the girls to the Maritime Museum to see the dragons and mermaids exhibition. This amused us all much less that the tram ride there so were thrilled to see a poster for Wetworld. Set up in a marquee on one of the museum wharves, it's a water playground featuring water experiments, toys and games and the Super Soaker Zone. Need I say more. It wasn't long before the girls and I were fitted with regulation goggles and going to war clutching massive water pistols. The zone comes complete with foam barriers to hide behind and take strategic aim at your opponents - mainly 7 year old boys. Every time you run out of watery ammo, a helpful assistant gives you a new weapon full of water. We were soaked in minutes, which we loved as it was a scorcher. On Sunday we went for lunch at Gav and Bev's, feasting on ribs and champagne in the shade in their garden while the kids threw water over each other. On Monday it was still hot so we all decamped to Balmoral for the afternoon.
With Rob back at work on Wednesday, I met up with Julia and the girls at Redleaf for a near perfect day. Scarlett and Ella are now so confident in the water they happily swam to the pontoons and back, jumping off when they got there. Scarlett and Flo also amazed me by jetty jumping, straight off into the harbour freestyle. We then swam to the pontoons and lolled about in the sun to dry off. It was magical.
