Rocking Your World Friday - 38th Friday of 2019

Good Afternoon lovely people this is the 38th Friday of 2019 and so it is time for 

First up may I apologise for not posting last week, it is the first time I have officially missed one since I started this back in the depths of time.  It would have been so easy to miss this one too as life is hectic, but these aren't just part of my normal routine, they are also a way of keeping my sanity chip in place and at the moment I definitely need my sanity chip in place. 

So why no post last week?

Well we had a fabulous mid-week break at Center Parcs.  We switched off phones and tablets and computers and avoided the TV and had a digi detox which was quite honestly fantastic. 

We came back on the 13th when I should have posted but it was my birthday and hubby treated me, so I thought it's fine I'll post the following day and well as they say the rest is history. 

So Center Parcs 

Well what can I say it was absolute bliss, blue skies, forest and family time

There was only 4 of us, me and hubby and said 19 year old and his girlfriend (yes said 19 because after my birthday last Friday was said 19 year old's birthday)

We had great fun for our birthday week, I arranged for them to trial the Aqua Park, so first on with the wet suits

Then floatation jackets

Before heading out onto the lake for a Total Wipeout style half hour

 They ran over obstacles

And fell in the water and had to climb out and had great fun for half an hour.  They had us in stitches as they were laughing so much. 

We also went to a quiz night which was fun and we all enjoyed a spa evening at the Aqua Sauna but I don't have photos of that, so you'll just have to take my word for it that we had fun. 

We saw some gorgeous wildlife, these little guys were happy we had a fairly constant supply of peanuts

And we adored seeing this down at the nature reserve as they've been elusive the last few times we've visited since they cut down some of the tree cover. 

We enjoyed a swim in the main sub-tropical area including venturing to the outdoor pool for a swim.  Those crazy three went on this new water slide known as the cyclone, it looked incredibly scary from where I was swimming but they all assured me what a fabulous time they had had. 

It really was fabulous to stop and chill and take some time out.

We came back on Friday and I enjoyed a meal out with hubby as well as having some beautiful presents from family and friends. 

Then on said 19 year old's birthday we had a get together at ours with more extended family, it was also an opportunity to say goodbye to said 19 year old's girlfriend as she has moved to Lincoln University, we are hoping we still see plenty of her but we shall see. 

I've had a mad crazy and busy week this week, but for those that read frequently you will know that is absolutely nothing new. 

I hope you've had a grand week, if you fancy joining in pop a post together, pop back and link up and we can come and visit.
