NATIONAL PLAY DAY - 3rd AUGUST 2011
It was a glorious hot summer day, which is, as most people know is usually unheard of in the UK. So to make the most of it, some of the Party Tracker employees decided to take their children for a picnic, to celebrate the National Play Day 2011 in the UK.
This is aimed at Children, Young people and Families across hundreds of local communities around the UK to play and have fun. Our local National Play Day was held at the Beautiful Parks and Lakes at Stanborough Park. These are set on approx 126 acres of parklands, which have held the prestigious Green Flag Award for the last 6 years. There's a wide variety of bird life, such as Ducks, Swans and Geese, as well as lakes full of fish. So armed with large picnic hamper, full of food, football party cups football party plates and football party napkins, all things to make an easy and relaxing day, off we set to enjoy a fun day. When we arrived there we found a glorious spot, under the trees, overlooking the lakes, but close to the activities. The children went exploring whilst some of us laid out the rug, picnic food and accessories. The children quickly established what they wanted to do, there was a wide selection of activities to pond dipping, Zorbing, wall climbing, football and various other things to do. Whilst they were out and about, we sat back and watched the sailing, wind surfing, and watersports on the lake. Zorbing proved to be a great hit with the children. Zorbing is the latest adventure activity from New Zealand, which is where you are put into a large plastic sphere, which is inflated, and you have to try and walk in it on water, a very hard thing to do. but great fun and exercise. This can also be done rolling down hills. It was a very active and busy day, but lots of smiles and laughter was in abundance from children and adults alike, and at the end of the day we all headed home very exhausted but extremely happy. Did anyone else around the UK, have a Play Day, how was it? And how did you end up celebrating it.
