Bank Holiday Monday

Well bloggers hope you had a great couple of days off thanks to the Easter weekend. Why is it when it's a bank holiday you get the erge just to do something, even if its going to the cinema, everyone gets the erge to do something. Well in my case it was if the entire population of Birmingham had the same idea as me. Me and Kieron decided to the West Midland Safari Park, and to make a nice social gathering, we invited my mum and gareth. Anyway gareth also invited his mates Adam and Carl and we decided to meet them there as it was a spare of the moment thing.

So off we went in Gareth's Mondeo. The sun was shining, everyone was happy until we hit a mile long line of traffic heading towards the Park. Hmmmmm, didn't look good. But anyway we decided to persue with our adventure. Finally after 1hr 30 mins drive we arrived, to be greeted by an army of cars. It was if people were evacuating their houses to come here. Cars piled high with people and picnics and children and lord knows what. We managed to get in though and started to drive round the Safari track, and for about 10 minuets all we saw was grass and a big log. Where were the animals? finally we saw the rhino's, and carried on round, which lasted about 2 hours.

I must admit, West Midland Safari Park has gone down hill slightly, you've got more chance at finding an animal in a where's wally book then you have there. The lions was the worst bit, everyone was trying to look at them and it just caused a massive pile up of cars. Even the wardens seem to care. The M25 was less busier!

But we survived. We had finished the track, and made our way to the amusement section, and we found Adam and Carl.

We went and saw the Creepy crawlies, and the reptiles, and then what most impressed me was thay had a fre-flying bat section it was so cool. You walked through some plastic sheeting and entered what could have been Batmans Cave (Hmmm ... ironic!) and sure enough bats everwhere, they were really cute. You could stand in one spot and bats would just flash past you. It deffinately made up for the track.

We stopped for an ice cream (as you do) and went to see the Sea lion show. Now it wasn't exactly Seaworld, but it was ok.

On our way home we stopped off for a quick pint which actually turned into 4and by the time we left the pub it was about 10.30pm!!!!

So off we went on our travels and i began to feel very hungry. As we arrived home it was nearly approaching 12 midnight, we dropped Kieron home, and Adam and Carl came back to ours. We all then decided we were all hungry, so mum made a Spaghetti Bolognaise!

Note: My family are very random and we do like doing things at the drop of the hat!

It was a great day out, and i had a really great time, so there!

See you soon xx
