Preschool Holiday Picnic

On Friday Josie's preschool had organised a school holiday picnic for her class and Josie, Granny and Becka went off to the Pinic to let Josie socialise with the kids.

The following is Becka's very excellent essay on the events which unfolded. I gave her this assignment on Friday night and by Saurday lunchtime it was completed. Well done Becka!

We arrived at queens park a little after 2:30 pm, Josie was pumped and ready to play! Other than a couple of little boys we were the first ones there.

Josie insisted on washing her hands in the bubbler before she began to play, confirming that she needed clean hands to play on the equipment. Then we went walking around- of course dragging me around everywhere with her by the hand- exploring what was there.

After making a full circle around the LARGE play equipment, Josie finally decided that we would go up the wooden boards holding on to the metal chain, then go down the slide which is like a tunnel, but not before looking down the tunnel and screaming 'anyone in there I'm coming down!' LOL!!

Soon more children began to come and eventually Josie's best friend Rachel arrived and wow Josie got excited! She spotted Rachel from the other side of the playground and ran over screaming WACHEL!! LOOK BECKA IT'S MY FWEND WACHEL (Rachel)!!

After much excitement they both settled down and with Josie's directions a decision was made of going on the swings and that I must push both of them very fast!! Then after 20 long minutes -by then Becka had very sore arms- they decided they had had enough! I then undid both of them and Rachel's mum gave us some bubbles. I insisted that they must sit down so as not to spill the liquid which makes the bubbles!

Then Rachel decided that she wanted to run after the bubbles so in the end I ended up blowing and Josie and Rachel ran after the bubbles screaming in delight!

Then after about 15 minutes we went on the equipment for a while until Josie decided she wanted a ice-cream. So running up to me laughing Josie says: Becka, can I have an Ice-skweme?? After a long glare from me she quickly added: oops, i forgot
pweeeeeeeeze! LOL!

So I took Josie across the road and bought her a Calippo and myself a golden gaytime. We then came back and sat down on the bench and started to eat our ice-creams, when Josie realized something and goes:
Josie: hey Becka, memba on holiday we eat my ice- bwock on boat
Becka: Yes Josie I remember, is it yummy?
Josie: yes I wike it, an memba we eat your ice-skweme in the wata on holiday
Becka: yes Josie, good girl
Josie: yeh I wiked dat it was funny
Josie: - LAUGHING-

All in all it was a fabulous day and Josie very thoroughly enjoyed herself!

Thanks Becka for a great story! Definitely an A+!
