![[AD - PR Invite] Today we went to one of our favourite places to run around and explore; Arundel Wetland Centre!
To celebrate the Summer Holidays, @wwtarundel currently have tons of activities to keep you busy; from pond dipping to exploring the wetlands via boat! Plus, especially for the holidays, you can become a @wwtworldwide ranger! This is where you can learn how to do a health check, like weigh and measure birds (not real ones, although a few gulls did try to take part!) as well as design your own leg tag. You also get to learn more about the role of a #WWTArundel ranger. There's also a chance to have some fun dressing up.
To add to the fun, we decided to take one of T's cousins with us for the day and they had a BLAST! They'd never been before so it was wonderful to see it through fresh eyes, although every time we've visited, something new has grown or taken up residency. Today, we were lucky enough to spot a Kingfisher!
We absolutely adore #ArundelWetlandCentre, so much so that we became members again so that we can support the amazing work that they do. With the current heatwave, we were worried about the plant life and what the water levels would look like, however we saw very quickly the rangers hard at work making sure the birds and natural wildlife was being taken care of.
We had such a brilliant day and cannot wait to return.](https://i0.wp.com/lesbemums.com/wp-content/uploads/sb-instagram-feed-images/299367732_781488443293797_1950833666343108332_nfull.jpg?ssl=1)
![The sign of a good day: leaving just as the sun is slowly setting; after arriving when the sun was high in the sky, feet and face absolutely filthy, and so tired that conversations are now incoherent ramblings from the back of the car.
Today, we had the absolute privilege of meeting up with @freddy.mcconnell and his fry; spending the day in pub gardens, beaches and then on the sofa. It was such a joy and I have left feeling with my cup overflowing.
There really is something to be said for being with your community, and that goes tenfold for the kids. Whilst T will socialise and have fun with most folks, there was something special about being around and playing with another sprog of a rainbow family. Language that's special and often unique to us is usualised and "normal". There's no awkwardness (outside of my usual awkwardness!) or having to over explain anything as the role of an educator.
It was such a joy.
