An old video but dad finally got it loaded.

In true McGimpsey style Harry clears his dinner plate.  Well he cheated a bit.






Radisson trip

11-12th November 2013 Radisson Roe Trip.

Mum, Dad, Harry, Uncle Mark, Aunt Julie, Grandpa and Oma all went for a trip to the Radisson Roe Hotel.  It was a great trip and we all had fun watching Newcastle beat Spurs 1-0 while having some refreshments and sandwiches after the long drive up.  We enjoyed some fun in the swimming pool and basically had the swimming pool to ourselves.  It was very relaxing.  We had good food on both nights and Uncle Mark had a surprise birthday cake.  Happy 40th.

We took a trip into Portrush and had a nice walk around and some more refreshments in 55 North cafe, with a lovely view.

Some photos of the trip.  Note Dad and Uncle Mark were sporting some great moustaches while raising money for Movember.

Harry puzzled about the facial hair of Dad and Mark.

Harry likes driving

Harry had a quick trip through Bloomfield shopping centre and was such a good boy that Dad let him drive the sports car.

No entry

Harry went to visit oma & grandpa yesterday, thought he would surprise them but when he arrived there was no -one in!! He rang the bell a few times & was disappointed to have to come home! Maybe they were hiding & didn't want a visit from a lively toddler :) x
