I think we’ve probably got the hang of this we have I’m going to get one when I get them slow pedal D pedal p and ped no don’t pedal and pedal we can do this here on obstacle it’s one thing about the bikes you’ve got to go through the

Gates these are the gates yeah the gates are a bit awkward to navigate look how lovely it is a lot of debris on the road there is there is with a camera crew with a camera France and they got a bike a motor bike with a camera crew that’s this one how’s

Your trip been yeah it’s been great how are you finding the bik yes all right just concentrating done you’ve done so well Laura considering you said you haven’t been on a bike what was that oh oh it’s a de two two D they’re little bombies what I don’t Leon there’s

Really is it oh my goodness look at the trees no that is has actually topped the weekend off nice seeing them little deers Jesus Christ I feel like we’re in The Last of Us wow what the hell got imagine being in that you were worried about that Mom

And I was laughing at you yeah see see everybody laughs at me when I say in the woods at least it’s a thin tree yeah yeah W see you all laugh I know my stuff that’s crazy I’ve never seen that very windy night it’s very cold it’s nice being on the back there

You got uh yes we’ve got the Knack of this James has now giv me good instructions well I feel like they never used to you off CU we nearly crashed yeah we have nearly had some near misses do oh I’m glad most of this is downhill trees down on the

Left that was lucky was it that’s a bigger one that would have wiped that out yeah that would have wiped that house a first Hill this morning come on Leon I say come on Leon keep it m of running oh thank you thank thank you well we are seeing a bit of the

Witch today the forest really nice I’ve enjoyed this ride yes definitely woking us up little Christmas light is still up I think the light should stay up all year I do as well and here we are our are we no no it’s the first aid center okay slowly yeah I’m just losing my

Pedals oh oh here we are and here we are this is where we started on Friday picking the bikes up and we’re now here Monday returning wa let me get off how is that James for your last like I absolutely love that we should we definitely haven’t made the most of

Bikes yesterday was the only day we didn’t come out but when you think about it when have we had time when have we actually had time to get on that’s true but it makes you think maybe we don’t have to do so many activities because the bikes we can actually use the bikes

To actually go around the forest yes which we could have done so we’re learning lessons in wind and on that we’re handing these into this man down all right you can carry on so these are the bikes that you can hire and the tandem i’ definitely go for

The tandem if you got little children starts off with the little uh Carriage one the trailer this is what James and Laura used to be in when they used to come here with their dad I’m and then it goes to this room in there and then they just go up

In sizes so there’s a good range of oh Even This Love This yeah so there’s a good range of bikes yes and here we all just going to go and get car day it was I’m surprised that the Tre I don’t know why it was very windy last night yeah

Had a right good time on do you know one thing I will say’s I feel like all of the stuff that we’ve come in contact here are lovely exactly like they give me that Disney Vibe of like when you get into that bubble there’s not been one negative person there’s not been one

Negative person at all here they have been almost like it’s their first day on the job yeah they just they’ve got that enthusiasm which I think’s lovely do you want me to take it off here uh we’re just going to well we’re in the car partk now we parked in area

In the B area there is an a area as well but we’re in the B area I can’t feel my hands look at how old my hands look in the camera am I a 90-year-old woman there was a lot more debris than I thought there’d be for some reason I I

Know we’re in a forest and it makes sense that a tree would fall down you imagine you just think it’s indestructible a tree on your yeah I know thing really windy through the night wasn’t it yeah I just have this idea that Center Parks is just indestructible and a forest that the

Trees are just made of something stronger because it’s Center Parks but obviously not I’m going to spend a penny just going to spend a penny it’s basically um a Wei isn’t it we’re running quite ahead of time this morning it’s 10:00 and the pancake house is basically just right here so we’re

See you yeah see you at home let us know we will do Bye I had a dream about Taylor Swift last night oh good dream we’re in the car we’ve said bye to everybody we have also just stopped off at Tim Horton actually so if you’re a Tim Horton fan on the roundabout if you come out of Center parks and head left towards the

M6 there is Tim Horton and Leon’s obsessed with Tim Horton literally a Tim Horton’s cup um really nice I love the little dut balls tippins I had a chocolate Tippin beautiful um so yeah I just thought I’d round the Vlog up here we have an hour

And 15 minutes to until we get home we have had to divert because part of the main road that we drive on to get home is closed because a Lori tipped over yesterday which is it seems right because the road that it has actually tipped over on is really

Open um and it’s it’s almost like the penines it’s yeah I’m not surprised it has actually tipped over but it tipped over last night and the road is still closed so we’re having a scenic drive through some cute little towns and I just wanted to say thank you if you’ve

Watched the Vlog over the last few days I’ve had the best time um it’s been Leon’s first time as well and it’s been lovely having you there um hey and I yeah I I absolutely love Center parks and Mom got upset as well and I think we probably take for granted

The amount of time we spend together as a family cuz I think we just assume that everybody does this but then a lot of people come up to us at work and say like maybe they don’t think it’s normal or they don’t spend that much time with

Their family but we CER Parks is that time where um every year regardless of what we’re doing or regardless of where we are we will make a date for the weekend and we will just swing from trees or in my s in with me I won’t swing from trees

We’ll go quad biking we’ll do things that we don’t normally do and that is Center ugs for us it just brings everybody together and you just have the best time and you just act like you have no care in the world and that is why I love Center Parks everyone at Windfield

Forest staff wise have been amazing I feel like to be completely honest usually when you go to places like this you come across somebody that just does not want to work there or they’ve just woken up on the wrong side of the bed and they just hate their job everyone at

Windfeld Forest has been incredible they’ve just made the experi experience for us even down to when we were just at the Pancake House and me and Leon it’s not a lie because it’s Mom’s birthday it’s the 22nd now and it’s Mom’s birthday on the 25th we said she came to

Come and take the drinks order and we were like the birthday girl goes first and mom was like it’s not my birthday but then 10 minutes later I I’ve completely forgot her name I can’t remember is really bad but she came over and whispered in my ear and

Said what’s the birthday girl’s name and I said Julie and then she started singing and and announced the whole restaurant it was Julie’s birthday and everyone and she have everyone’s attention so that everyone can sing Happy Birthday to Julie which was it was so nice that she did it and then Mom at

The start mom was embarrassed but and then she L towards the end she got up and bowed and that is just my mom all over and then also Rick at archery just being on such a personal level with us and just telling us about his job and his family everyone’s just been

Lovely laser combat Chloe at Laser combat as well um she again when you’re filming your holiday and when you’re filming your Center Park trip because you’re doing activities you don’t know I from a production perspective I don’t know whether I can film I don’t know whether they’re going to let me but you

Just have to you just have to take it on board and just go with what they say and Chloe at um laser combat she instantly said it’s okay with me but we’re just going to announce to the group because I had the GoPros as well and all the families

And they all said yes and she was lovely was she was lovely and she has a YouTube channel as well so if subscribe to her she’s done a day in the life at Center Parks windfeld Forest every everybody’s just been lovely and that’s just been a

Standout for that’s been a stand out for me at winell everyone’s been really nice it makes you feel like you are more settled yeah when everyone is really friendly completely cuz there’s nothing worse than doing an activity with someone that you just like like when someone makes you feel

Uncomfortable when someone has a weird vibe and then you with them for an hour doing an activity it’s not as enjoyable completely whereas when that person is traffic incident when multitasking in the car when someone is on a good vibe you have a better time with them yeah

And they have a better time with you cuz it’s still their job and they need to enjoy it as well I also feel like you push the limits a bit more as well and you have more fun you ask things that you wouldn’t normally do because at the

End of laser combat I mentioned to Chloe or can I just take a picture for the thumbnail AKA what my mom calls a toenail and I was like can we do it around these barrels and she was like you know what we’re going to go up to

The castle if you’re really quick I’ve got one minute spare we’re going to take you up to the castle and Rick as well because she was because she had a good vibe we get more out of it as well yeah it’s it’s a tennis game if you’re nice

This goes for any customer service related job if you’re nice backwards and forwards you’ll get the best experience back back and forth back and forth back and forth back and forth and I think that’s the best way to sum this up so I’ve had a lovely time

Also while we’re doing our um C compliments I don’t remember their names but the two guys that were doing the quads for this as well he was so enthusiastic yes he was and like he even let us at the end of that session he was like do you want to come back outside

And get a picture on the quads yeah he was um and all of the I think all of the instructors that we have pictures dealt with um they’ve all been the ones that have asked if if they want if they if they want us to no they’ve all asked us if we

Want them to take a picture for us it’s hard to get your words out isn’t it when you talk to camera mindful they’ve all been really involved D in making sure that we’ve had a really good time yeah um and they’ve also been really involved in like it’s

Not just been like do you want me to take a photo it’s been like let’s get you on the castle let’s get you back outside get you on the quads he was like get yourselves in like a background when we did out tree he was like pick a

Background the space yeah so they’ve all been really involved in making sure that like the memories that we want to capture they’re really elevated absolutely so yeah can’t remember the names but the two guys that did quad biking with us yeah they are and I think whenever we

Do c par activities again we need to make sure that we know their names because we’ll probably have it in the Vlog somewhere you’ll see their name they have the name tag somewhere yeah if the name tags are there or if you’re watching thank you very much and we will

See you in the next one bye see you later bye
