...= a fabulous day out!!!! Our local CM association hired a canal boat today and we spent 1.5 hours on the canal travelling up and down. We had a picnic on board and the older children were allowed to help with the locks etc. We had an absolutely fantastic day and my children were all full of it at the end of the day.

The nicest thing was all of the crew came up to us individually and complimented us on the behaviour of the children :clapping: They said they were wary when they took the booking as usually kids are a nightmare but they were all really impressed with the behaviour and the manners and said they would have us back in a heartbeat :D

I'm one very happy minder!!!:D :D

Solly - it's definitely something we intend doing again. They are also licensed so it's been mooted as a social event in the evening - minders only!!!!:jump for joy: D is looking into the details.

Juggler - it was surprisingly stable! The kids sat nicely for their picnic and the only time we had a few bumps was when we went into the lock.
