We took the boys to their first trip to the cinema today. We'd not been before as we knew Sam would have a meltdown if it was to noisy, busy, bright, dark etc...so we went to an autism friendly screening. The sound was the right level, you can take your own food and the kids can move about as they please. The main thing was that you didn't get tutted at by other people if your child made any silly noises or asked too many questions - you could just relax - bliss. The boys loved it.
Then we headed over to a surf shop and purchased a kayak, wet suits and all we'd need for some summer adventures on the water. Our chaps are going to be right little surf dudes.
We have been talking recently about saving up to go to Disney land in a few years but have decided we would be better saving for a classic Volkswagen camper van so we can disappear all round Britain when it suits and also Europe on the longer hols. Much more fun and adventurous than spending a fortune on a theme park which would last a week at most and probably be too much for Sam anyway.
