Sealife, Livelife

4 weeks goes far too quickly - I'd apologise for the massive gap between posts buuut, it'll probably happen again. Soz mate.

So I'd fill you in on everything that has happened, but to be honest, it's just been life. Busy with plodding along so what I can do is fill you in on the Easter bank holiday weekend.

We decided to go to Great Yarmouth to stay in a caravan, our first time away from home overnight so we were unsure how F would cope sleeping in a different environment.
Well, she didn't to be honest and you can't blame her. Poor soul is only just 5 months old and so everything is still new to her so it must have been scary to be in a different bed, with a different mattress with lots of different noises.

However, that was only one (tiring) part of the weekend; we arrived on Friday, unpacked and headed straight to Yarmouth seafront to go to the Sealife Centre!
Not only did we have a BOGOF voucher from Kellogg's, but figured that what better sensory experience that with all the fish and lights in water!

Upon stepping through the main doors, she was already alert as the sounds and was even more mesmerised as we ventured through the small, yet adequately sized Great Yarmouth branch of Sealife.

We snaked our way through jellyfish, stingrays. Nemo & Dory, PENGUINS and each attraction brought with it various movements and sounds of excitement.

Eventually we made it to the main attraction; the TUNNEL! And oh how she loved it, fish and sharks swimming above and around us and the biggest turtle I've ever seen!

After a quick nappy change, we headed back round on our 2nd loop (they stamp your hand so you can visit again same day, which is nice!), F slowly became less interested and gradually fell asleep. I guess you really can have too much excitement for one day!

Saturday we took her to the swimming pool for the first time and for a walk along the beach in Gorleston. A place I went as a kid and who used to do the best whippy ice cream, covered in chocolate!

A walk down the prom and F obviously enjoyed it as she was chattering away to herself the whole way, while I was catching Pokemon 😏

After deciding to cut our losses and head home Sunday afternoon, we had another swim, packed the car and hit the road.

I supposed this was a good insight into what to expect in May, when we're away for a whole week!
