Draw The Queen - 8th June 2016

To celebrate our Queen's 90th Birthday, our local newspaper asked my school and others in the area to draw her.

  The date of the Queen's birth is the 21st April. But she also has an official Birthday this Saturday 11th June.  The British Monarch's Birthday celebrations have often been held on a day that is not their actual Birthday.  It is tradition linked to the unreliable British weather, because the Royal family like to hold the Birthday celebrations in the summer.

Here's the special supplement from our local paper.

This explains what the newspaper asked the school children to do.

Here's mine and all my school friends pictures.

A close up of my picture.

Happy 90th Birthday your majesty!

My First Trip To Spain (Part 3 of 3) - 28th May - 4th June 2016

 The rest of my holiday I mainly spent at the beach and having fun at PortAventura World.

Can you see the new Ferrari Roller-coaster being built in the distance behind me?

Here's I am with Daddy about to get dizzy in the Far West area of the park.

Wild Buffalo dodgems.

Entering cowboy country.

Shooting range.

General store.

Penguin cowboy!

Time for an explore in the play area.

Hooray!  I made it to the top.  Now how do I get down?

Our favourite snack shop.

Winnie Woodpecker.

Time to ride like a cowboy.

I've chosen a fast horse.

That was fun.  I rode three times in a row.

More horse riding.

Next into China, along the great wall.

There's a lot of screaming coming from over there.

There goes the train.

Enjoying some rides with a Chinese theme.

Lots of fun slides in this play area.

Look at this amazing dragon slide.

Up up and away!

Time for a bit of driving school Spanish style.

I hope I remember to drive on the correct (right) side of the road.

I love driving.

I tried out all the different roads.

Thirty work.

Time to get a few people wet!

I really enjoyed driving these boats.

It was quite difficult.  But I managed to get my boat around the island.

Here's me learning how to dance Polynesian style.





I think it was a bit like the haka dance.

It was boys against girls.  Boys definitely won with my help.

I love being in front of a crowd.

We went for walks out of our resort into Salou a resort town in the North Eastern Costa Daurada most days.
 

Lots of souvenir shops.

Buying Euro 16 toys.

Look what we found at the shop.

Another little Barca FC shop on the beach.

Look what restaurant I found!

A little walk on the beach.

Time to sun bathe.

Another day at the beach.

I wrote 'William Salou 2016' in the sand.

Do you like my dragon?

 I loved playing in the Mediterranean sea.

Jumping the waves. 

Enjoying the view of the marina.  But I didn't like the smell of the seaweed.

I spent a lot of time on this swing too!

 More PortAventura fun!

Time for the evening parade.

Woody and Winnie Woodpecker.

Where's my cookie's?

A final show to close the park for the evening.

Saying goodnight to Woody after the special closing show.

   

I loved having buffet dinner at my hotel each night because I could have as much ice cream and pudding as I liked.

I really enjoyed looking at this water park model in the hotel reception area.

On one of our after dinner walks outside the resort.

Some views along the coast line.

We went for walks along the coast line most days, the view was amazing.

I have tried lots of new foods at our hotel buffet every evening.  I even had my first ever burger which I loved.

  So on our last day I wanted to try Burger King for the first time for lunch.
It was Great!

One last relax before we head to the airport and home.

I really enjoyed my time in Spain.

Back to the airport on the coach.

Some of my holiday souvenirs.
