Fun and frolics in a wet and windy woodland for Oliver's party

Monday of half term was possibly the wettest, most muddy monday in the history of woodland play. That may be a slight over exageration, but to say that it simply rained does not do it justice. the rain came pelting down and the mud got thicker and squidgier and muddier than we ever expected. Did it put us off though? No! We had a party full of woodland adventure, den building, firelighting and nature exploration. There were 21 children all between 6 and 7 years old, who brought with them 4 very brave and woodland warrior adults. We built dens and water tested them to make sure they were totally water proof. This, as you can imagine, was not a difficult test to do! We lit the fire and for lunch we had our lovely woodland sausages and didnt for one moment forget to have our toasted marshmallows either. It was a fantastically busy day and by all accouts, Oliver and his friends had a wonderful time (and so did we)!
