A few weeks ago, we added to the Wildlife Park at the Curraghs by visiting with Harry. We did leave it a little late in the day but I suggested that we had to go because we'd told him we would. Irene didn't think he'd really be bothered because last time we had been, albeit a year earlier and not nearly three, he took no notice of them whatsoever.
I was on the verge of agreeing with Irene, a moment later a voice piped up from the back seat, "Amnals! Amnals! I want to see the amnals!" and off we went, 'Amnals, Amnals!' all the way and he didn't seem to believe we were going there at all!

Of course, people who have read my previous blog will probably have already gathered what happened next.
A portrait of our Grandson Harry.
Having shelled out the best part of £20, we had a look at the first display which is the Humboldt penguins and his next words were, 'Gaddad's car! Gaddad's car! I want to go to Gaddad's car!' (Note I am 'Daddad' no more!)
'You will see the blooming Amnals and you will enjoy it!'
I think we lasted just over an hour before his determination to take us in every direction but the one we wanted to go and see everything but the 'Amnals' in wore us down.
However, there is a lot to see and on Sundays, there is also a mini railway run by volunteers.
The play park is now a much bigger and in a new area than when we used to take our children and they have extended the outside area of the cafe.
