Even though I wrote last weeks happy days post late it feels like it was months ago! It has been such a busy week and I’ve got loads of done and been on lots of adventures with the Robot. I’ve been processing a lot of stuff that has been going on behind the scenes in the Two Tiny Hands household and I feel like I’m in a happy place, I hope so anyway!
Let’s take a look at what we got up too…
– We went to the Safari Zoo which used to be called South Lakes Wild Animal Park. I have to admit I like the old one because at least it tells you where it is! That’s beside the point though… The Robot enjoyed himself, there are a lot of animals he’s never seen before so I think he found it fascinating. It’s been a while since I’ve been to the zoo and I hadn’t realised how much they had expanded it and there is loads more to see!
– My Mum came home!! Not that I told you she’s been away but after two weeks it is nice to have her back in the country and readily available to play! We took her to the zoo with us, can you tell how much the Robot loves his Gran:
– We found “Grandmas Cafe” and I am now a premium paid geocacher! We went out for a walk on Sunday and Dave spotted a geocache out in the open. Shock, they’re normally hidden! I logged my name in the log book and went to log it at home online. It was my first multi cache where you have to work out the co-ordinates with a series of clues. A bit of excitement for the geocachers out there!
– I went to visit my friend. Not so happy that she has been in an accident but oh so happy that she is still here to tell the tale. She is truly amazing and I hope she continues a speedy recovery. The Robot and I took the train together as my car was at the garage. It was a long way and I am so proud of my little man and his ability to entertain himself while we travelled.
– The Robot and I went on a walk to go pick the car up from the garage. He’s got so much stamina I swear he walked nearly a mile with me. He chose to wear his red wellies and his red jump suit and it was the perfect attire to go puddle jumping in. It took us 2 hours to a 20 minute walk! The perfect way to spend an afternoon with my little man especially when we found the park.
– Thank you to all of you wonderful people who voted for me in the #TribalChat awards. I came out with the Inspiration award so I am really grateful for each and every one of you. I hope that I continue to be of inspiration for you all!
– They aren’t huge blog landmarks but I’ve managed to get 400 followers over on Pinterest and 500 followers on Instagram. I’m in it for the slow game but if by chance you’d like to follow me then click the links and give it a go!
– We had a spare afternoon on Friday and slightly inspired by this blog post by Alana from Burnished Chaos, we decided to get our dance on. I selected a Happy Hardcore CD from Dave’s selection of CD’s, plugged us in and got Dancing crazily around the living room! So much fun.
All in all a very good week for me. We don’t have a lot planned for the weekend, Dave is working Saturday so I am going to take the Robot swimming and possibly go buy a buggy. Have you got any good plans going on?
You have had a busy week! I hope your friend is doing okay after the accident. Thanks for linking up to #HappyDaysLinky x
Yes, my friend is on a great fast recovery thank you x
Robot is looking so big at the moment and I love the red outfit, perfect for puddle jumping. Well done on your blog milestones, it’s so important to celebrate each and everyone of them. x #happydays

Ahhh, well thank you! Can’t beat a bit of dancing!
God, you guys do a great job of getting about! I feel like I’ve done well if i make it out to the park with the buggy. You’re inspiring me to do more. 🙂
Thank you! We struggle to stay in all the time, like to be busy makes the time go faster!
Ahh i used to adore our long slow walks to somewhere and nowhere! And dancing round the house is one of my fave things to do with both children! Lots achieved this week by the sounds of it and loving the red suit and welly combo! X

Seems like you had loads of fun! I have yet to take my daughter to the zoo but I’m looking forward to it. It looks like you guys enjoyed it and I’m glad your friend is okay. XX #familyfun
Wow lots going on! I love the zoo. I’ve recently found out about a safari park near us that I didn’t know about so I’m hoping we can go there soon. I’m so sorry to hear your friend had an accident. I hope she has a speedy recovery. And if your little one is anything like mine, I bet he loved his ride on the train! #FamilyFun

I love Robo’s outfit- so perfect for a rainy day outing and puddle fun. We have been to Zoo with our toddler last Month and it was great. He enjoyed running and watching animals. Hippo was his fav. Happy to linkup.

It sounds like you had a great week – I love how you’re always getting out and about and seeing new things. I feel like I’ve let the winter weather put us off weekend adventures recently, but I’m inspired to get out and explore regardless! Love the red wellies, by the way. #FamilyFun

Thanks Katie. I think you get a bit more wet winter weather than us. I swear we’re in a little dry bubble compared to a lot of people! Rarely rains.
Zoo’s are great, but maybe it’s because I live in Africa, it kinda breaks my heart to see them in there. We’ve been to the Pretoria Zoo a few times. The kids love it.
#familyfun
I know where you are coming from. I’m amazed at what this zoo has done in recent years the enclosures have really got bigger and think this helps a bit more.
Ah lovely week! Zara likes to walk too and it takes FOREVER I don’t mind think though. I love that you got your dance on, we did that Saturday #familyfun

Sounds like you’ve had a great week. Lovely to hear that you’re feeling in a happy place. Robot has definitely got some good stamina! My daughter can walk a mile or so…if she chooses. More often than not she’ll decide she’d rather be carried for a bit so she can nosey from up high. That said, puddles did encourage her to walk. Hope you have a lovely relaxed weekend! #FamilyFun
