"Do you want to come with us to Jurassic Park?" Asked Amber, my oldest granddaughter.
Thinking I might need a safari outfit and a machete, I wondered if my energy levels were up to it, but I thought I might regret it if I turned the opportunity of an exciting excursion.
I had never been there before, but I'd heard about the good times that Amber and Millie had had on their frequent visits to this park.
So I hobbled into Sam's car and off we went.
Granddad definitely wasn't up to going. He is struggling a bit with his chemo and needs to rest as much as possible.
I am glad this creature was only carved out of wood. It rather surprised me by its sudden appearance and looked as though it was about to pounce out of a pit.
The lion and the crocodile that were lurking in the undergrowth too.
This park is pleasantly situated in South Gloucestershire and it is a very pleasant way to spend a Sunday afternoon. As well as the animals, there were swings and balancing frames ...
...high wire rides and a sandpit, as well as a rope bridge to scramble across.
However, I was very glad to be able to sit and watch everything from the comfort of a good park bench and as usual, I was pleased that I had my camera handy.
Yes....... I was very pleased that I had ventured out to Jurassic park.

I'm happy you went too....beautiful pictures! Have a wonderful Sunday!
How wonderful! So all the creature sculptures are sort of scattered in the long grass? That's brilliant - great for imaginative games. Wishing you all a good Sunday.
My grandchildren would love it there!
Aye - a good day out Maggie - did you the world of good. Dxxxx
Wow - what a cool place for kids. And grandparents!
Looks to me like a really nice place to visit!
I think this was the perfect spot for a family adventure. And, as Akelamalu said, my grandchildren would love it there also.
Great day out. I had not heard of Jurassic Park - thought at first it was something to do with dinasaurs LOL
Lovely weather and an interesting park, glad to hear you got the wherewithal to go.
Looks like a fun place. I hope you and your hubby are both feeling well enough to enjoy the next excursion.
I am glad you went and that you enjoyed it, it lokoks great fun and had good weather too
I'll have to see if my twin nephews have been, if not I shall take them (one at a time probably!)
What a mervellous park... wish i could have been there too, with my little grandboys!
Where in Gloucestershire?
What a fun place! I do hope your husband begins to regain his strength soon. You two have had your share of troubles.
Blessings.
Thanks for sharing - great photos!
Such a cool park - what kid wouldn't like that?
That looks like a really fun place to go to when you're a kid. I imagine there's all sorts of adventures to be had. Wouldn't it be fun to be a kid all over again and to go there? I'd go on the swings.

The pictures are great. So glad you were up to the challenge and you had time with your family. This place looks like a wonderful family park.
What a brilliant idea for a park! Wonderful shots too.
What a fab place, I've no heard of it, where is it exactly? Looks beautiful blue sky - not like today!
EVERYONE..... I'm not really sure exactly where it is but it seems to be adjoining the houses some where in Bradley Stoke. Near there anyway.

What a fun place! I bet the girls had a great time. Glad there weren't any raptors about, though:)
Unexpected pleasures offered by grandchildren.

Looks like a fun way to spend a Sunday!
I think I'd be startled by that gorilla face too! Good thing you brought your camera.
Hope Granddad is feeling better.
What a great place for a kids' day out!
What an excellent little gem of a park you have there! I wish there was something similar in this area.
Maggie....a great park!
And....WONDERFUL photos you took.

Came by and read all this the other day, then managed not to leave a comment calling card. I loved the circle of chattering 'poles'...
It looks wonderful and I can see why your grandchildren love it. Hadn't heard of it before so thanks for the recommendation Maggie. A x
