This week Poppy went on a School trip to the beach at Weston Super Mare and I was lucky enough to go too. My Mum looked after the little ones so I could be a helper.
We had such a lovely day and I think she benefited from some quality Mummy/ Poppy time. She quite enjoyed showing me off to her friends too. I took lots of photos but here's a few:
The children got to play on the beach, feel the soft sand between their toes. They ran, jumped and danced as well as built sand castles, mountains and moats.
They enjoyed a picnic lunch and then a donkey ride. I was really proud to see Poppy dong it by herself….so grown up. She looked so confident up there on the biggest donkey.
The tide was out so it wasn't possible to paddle, instead they got to play in the squiggly, sticky mud before turning and racing all the way back to the beach. Everyone loved that bit:
We were really lucky with the weather too. Not too hot it was perfect beach weather, just warm & sunny.
A lovely, lovely day.

I remember it poured with rain, we had to eat our sandwiches in a bus shelter on the seafront and the kid next to me was sick on the coach! It looks like your daughter will have much better memories of her beach trip than me! Donkey rides and beach play looks like it’s going down a treat. Thank yu for linking up on Country Kids.
