On day 3 we decided to go swimming.
After the chaos of trying to find Tilly's swimming costume when I was
packing (click here to read about the chaos), I was happy to be able
to tell Tilly that we were going swimming. So we packed our matching
Disney princess towels and our swimming costumes and headed to the
pool.
In the swimming pool there was a lot to
do, there was a large pool that we where both very excited about when
we realised there were waves. After the waves had finished Tilly put
on her armbands and attempted to learn to swim. However she soon gave
up and headed to the children's pool which was shallower and had a
climbing frame and 3 small slides. She had fun going down the slides
while I sat in a relaxing area and watched her.
After a while we decided that we would
attempt the flumes and got excited when we realised that Tilly was
tall enough to go on the orange one. However when we reached the top,
Tilly changed her mind as looking down the slide was dark and there
was water splashing at the top. We then spent about 20 minutes trying
to persuade Tilly that she would love it. The life guard working at
the top of the flume even tried to help by putting his hand in front
of the jets to prevent some of the water from splashing her.
Eventually she went down and I followed a minute later. As I was
going down, I was worried that she would be in tears at the bottom. I
was wrong she loved it so much that we went down the flume again and
again and again.
Me and Tilly loved the pool so much as
they was a lot to do, that we ending up spending a lot of time there
and even chose to go back the next day.

We spent the afternoon in the tradition
fairground. I was excited as we reach the fairground as it had
changed slightly since last time I was there. Tilly chose one of the
biggest rides to go on first and we had so much fun waving our arms
around at the top. Due to the fact that it wasn't overly busy, we
were able stay on the rides for a second go if we wanted to. Tilly
then dragged me onto the small pirate ship ride before heading for
the carousel.
While we were queueing for the
carousel, the ride operator was lovely and spoke to Tilly asking her
which horse she wanted to go on. When we looked at all the horses as
they passed us, we both spotted one named Tilly. Obviously we then
chose that one!

After the carousel we headed towards
the dodgems and Tilly was really excited as this was the first time
she was tall enough to go on. When we got on the ride, the operator
told me that I had to sit in the drivers seat but Tilly was allowed
to lean over me and help steer. That was the most scariest few
minutes of my life! Tilly wasn't deliberately trying to crash into
other cars but she was a terrible driver and I was glad there was
seatbelts!

Day 3 was finished off by watching the
skyline gang again as they put on a different show almost everyday.
Overall day 3 was just as fantastic as previous days and left us
wondering what day 4 would bring.
