Big day at Tibidabo

One of the biggest problems with having a birthday in August is that all the friends are still on holiday. And as fun as it is to celebrate the b-day with cousins, having a day out with the friends is great fun too. So we decided to hold a pre-birthday outing before the school year ended.

Here's a snapshot of the fabulous four hamming it up as they dive down into the log splash, one of the many rides they enjoyed during their day at Tibidabo. (Note the fabulous view. This is definitely what makes this amusement park unique.)

The absolute favourite of all four was, without a doubt, the bumper cars. We certainly hope that they are more careful drivers when they are older! As for now, watch out other bumper car drivers, these four were on the loose and really bopping!

It was exhausting just watching them - as soon as they hopped off a ride they were racing around to cue up for it again! They even became friends with the 'assistants' in the mystery castle (a walk in the park, according to them).

After wrenching a promise from me that we would do it again in the autumn, we finally (and wearily) found our way down the mountain, although they are still convinced that eight hours of amusement park is not enough time to dedicate to such recreation.
