Corfe Castle and Peppa Pig World

Monday morning we set off on an adventure, we caught the chain ferry across the bay, that we drove on and sat and it took 4 minutes to get to the otherside, kids thought it was great. We drove to Norden and parked our car and caught the steam train to Swanage. A little coastal town, we walked aroundand the kid both had money to spend, so Maddie got a corfe bear and Lachie got a mini train set. We made our way to the beach and had a  famous cheese and onion pastry from the bakery.
We got the steam train back to Corfe Castle, where the kids put got dresed up for a minute then decided they didn't like it, and we made our way up to the castle, lots of steps and is the ruins of what was once there.
We had a look around the village and went into the mini village where it was a kids haven, croquet, fairy garden, giant chess etc, the kids had soooooo much fun.
It was the end of the day, so time to get the steam train back to our car and back acoss the bay on the chain ferry and home, a great day out. Leighton came for tea, the boys went for a drive to look at a lake to go fishing and we had a quiet night.

KIDS UP AT 4AM........ after being up every hour from midnight, kids are up and excited about going to Peppa Pig World, and it is daylight, so they think it is morning...........at 7.30 I took the kids for a walk around the corner to the ferry and watched it cross the bay, to fill in a long morning. We set of on a 40 minute drive about 9.30. When we saw the sign the kids were very excited, we entered the park and the rides started, to see the kids faces was priceless. We went into Peppa's house where the kids had their photo taken with the "pig family", George's dinosaur rides, daddy pig car rides etc. We had some lunch and met Peppa and George. The kids got some prizes from the toy shop, then made our way into the big park, where Paul and Leighton were in their element. They took Lachie on the roller coster the whole time I was having kittens, but he loved it, we continued our way around, such an amzing place with soooooo much to do, we were there all day and still didn't get to do everything. Lachie was loving being with the "big boys", while Maddie just cruised around. So after a fun filled long day we made our way back to Bournmouth where we met up with all the family and went out for dinner. An all you can eat and every cusine, the food was really good. Everyone is tired day 12 ends!
