Sweet memories of Bonbon-land

Two naughty-looking dawgs...
I wondered if it was allowed for jake to sit there but
the dog's neck had been worn shiny by hundreds of bottoms
over the years so we guessed it was OK.

This is the turtle. It goes up lots of metres into the air and spins round.
Look out for flying flip flops!
Bonbon-land is great for kids of all ages.
Setting off on the water slide...
Taking a break. There are lots of funny places to hide and play.
And then on to the obstacle route for a good scramble.
Ooh hold on tight guys.
It took them ages and when they finally got to the end, there was a queue waiting
and a tiny notice on the fence saying 'start this end'.
Can you see it?
Howdy! Here we are panning for gold at the goldmine.
More photos to come but my mum and brother and sister-in-law
are visiting :o) and I can hear they've finished breakfast. Better dash.
