The girls and I hit 'Creeley Adventure Park' today for some serious ride fun in the sunshine leaving Amy to soak up some more 'me' time in Port St Isaac. Bravery was once again order of the day. Anna, as fearless as ever just did what she does and hurled herself into going on every ride and giggling throughout. Lucy still has some fears about such things and needed persuading to go on the rides. Bravely she tackled the log flume, the rollercoaster, the rapids, the dino ride, the zip wires, the hamster balls, the pirate ship and last but not least, even though she hated every minute of it, she tamed 'the beast!' Another great day out with my girls to savour. What was even better, was the close bond that was evident between them as the day went on - quiet cuddles whilst we queued for the rides, holding hands and looking after each other. Something lovely happened last night. As we watched the last Harry Potter film and completed our evening holiday marathon of all the films. Anna showed how much she wears her heart on her sleeve, despite all her bravado. At the moment when Dobby the House Elf was killed saving Harry and his friends lives, Anna was quite simply inconsolable telling us with tears welling up in her eyes - 'he was a true hero'. This was a very emotional moment to share with her and I have to say left me beaming with pride and tears in my eyes. This prompted both Anna and Lucy to draw Dobby tribute pictures. The power of films and books is truly something I am glad we share with the girls. (although secretly I am pleased not to be watching another Potter film for a while!)
