On Friday we spent the day at Chessington World of Adventure with my friend Sarah and her daughter. 
Thankfully the weather wasn’t too hot and the rain stayed away which was a huge bonus. The park was pretty quiet even though there were a fair few school trips on and we were really surprised that there were no queues at most of the rides we went on … the one we had to queue for was only a 15 minute wait.
As well as the rides, there’s also a Zoo and a Sealife Centre which we had a wander around. The lions were really playful, the tigers enjoyed posing for photos and the gorillas, well they were just fab.
One was lying down in front of the window, picking his nose! He then sat up like a sulky teenage, stood up, walking in front of everyone taking photos then sat down again with his back to everyone. Fab!!
Inside the Sealife Centre, there was a huge tank filled with sting rays, spider crabs and other fish. 
Callum hadn’t really seen anything like them before and was fascinated by them. Further around there is an enormous tank complete with a tunnel you can walk through. Callum knew what a shark was. In another aquarium, there were clown fish – NEMO – Callum squealed!! So we had to bring one home to add to his ever growing soft toy collection.
Highlight of the day had to be watching Rameses Revenge. Fab way to while away some time. Seeing people being tossed over and over, getting soaked by the water jets with absolutely no escape. There were a few pale faces at the end of the ride – not one to do after you’ve had lunch :).
Safe to say that kids and mums all had a great time!
