France Day 1 - 29/5/10

We woke to grey skys this morning!!! We had a celebratory breakfast to celebrate Daisy's 6th birthday and she opened her cards and presents. Afterwards we went off to the swimming pool for a dip. Unfortunately it was too cold for the outdoor pool but we had lots of fun in the indoor pool as we had it to ourselves.

After a spot of lunch we popped in to Amboise to have a look around but France shuts down between midday and 2pm so it was rather desserted and the Parker's left pretty unimpressed and wondered if we had made the right choice for our holiday destination.

When driving around the site we have been allowing Daisy and Sam to drive on our laps and boy have they loved it. Sam is actually very good at steering.

We chilled out for the rest of the afternoon and Daisy went along to Pirate Club for a couple of hours and had a great time as it was party afternoon so they celebrated her birthday. After suppa we had Birthday cake and then headed up to the bar for the Pirate Show which the children loved and Daddy even got up and did some dancing (he loves it really).
