I was taking some things upstairs the other night when I noticed a rather large spider on one of the stair treads. I called George to show him the spider as I always do, and then I asked him to watch the spider while I went to fetch a glass to catch it in.
When I returned, not two minutes later, George was standing exactly where I had left him. There was no sign of the spider. I asked him where it had gone. "No idea, I didn't see it go" was the answer.
I know that he's only four, but I honestly thought that he could watch a spider the size of a 50p piece for less than two minutes without losing it...
(p.s. I caught an even bigger spider in the downstairs toilet later the same night, so honour was restored!)
The next step in a proper relaxing afternoon is to take a dip in your pool, which has been carefully filled by mummy, with warmish, not freezing cold water.
After you have had your swim and dried off, put your clothes back on, and settle down in mummy's comfy deckchair for an ice cream. 
His favourite ride was the Squirrel Nutty ride. He had 3 goes. He liked the Beastie roller coaster too, but unfortunately there was a queue for that, so he only had one ride.
On the way back to the hotel, the train was full when we reached the platform, but there was a strange hiss, and a finger beckoned us into another world - the world of a train driver. Here is George sat in the driver's seat entertaining John the train driver. Thank you John, you made his day.
This is the restaurant overlooking the swimming pool. We had passes for the pool too, so we did go swimming, but no photos allowed.
Overall, I think that the trip was a success. I haven't asked George which was his favourite part, as knowing George it could easily be something involving the shell pattern on the hotel carpet or similar. Sometimes ignorance is bliss.
