Isle of Wight 2013 Day 1

After waving off the masses of parents, we all set off for the Isle of Wight bright and early. The weather was fine and we made good progress to the ferry. Following the short 45 min journey which just about enabled time to wolf down lunch and complete a quiz, we journeyed onward to Coleman's Farm.
Nestled amongst the gorgeous countryside, the children had plenty of activities to do; feeding animals, riding on a tractor or playing in the barn. They all took full advantage and had a great time.
We arrived at our hotel in time to unpack, eat dinner and then head off to the beach opposite for some evening games. Some played cricket or football, others created mermaids of each other and others just paddled in the sea. Following a quick dairy write and a hot chocolate, the children collapsed into bed at 10pm. If today is a clue as to the potential success of the trip, we are in for a fantastic time.
