OK here's our holiday 2010. Where did we go? Wales, where else? Here's the boys outside Castell Caerdydd (Cardiff Castle).

My beautiful boy, here outside the caravan at the Haven park we stayed at.

This was the inside of our luxury caravan. It was in Tenby.

Here are the boys at one of the Haven shows, with Tom and Jerry.

Now this place was BRILLIANT. This is Dan-Yr-Ogof caves centre and dinosaur park. Its north of Swansea, going up into
Powys, just inside the Brecon Beacons National Park.

It has a massive dinosaur park with life-size fibreglass dinosaur models.

It actually has a whole valley filled with life-size fibreglass dinosaurs. It is an awesome place.

I have to say I think this is a family day out second only to Longleat. I highly suggest to anyone
to take their kids here.

As well as the dinosaurs at Dan-Yr-Ogof, there are three massive underground caves you can look around. One is a cathedral cave
where you can actually arrange to get married inside, as long as you wear a hardhat and carry a flashlight. This is me and the lads inside one of the caves. My camera isn't good enough
to pick up the inside of the caves, I suggest you check out the website www.showcaves.co.uk to see pics of the inside of the caves. They are stunning.

More woolly mammoths.

More dinosaurs.

Still at Dan-yr-Ogof, there's a kids indoor play area with a trike race track.

More trike race track mayhem.

Beautiful Looby with a beautiful massive shire horse, in the beautiful Brecon Beacons.

Anyway, that was Dan-yr-Ogof. Go there, it's that simple. So it's onto the next kids attraction, this is
Fferm Folly (Folly Farm), which is in Sir Benfro. There are farm animals there, with petting zoos for the kids to touch and meet animals.

There are lots of rides at Folly Farm as well: a 1950's style funfair, which is pretty awesome.

Me and Ry on the helter skelter.

This is actually a pic of the lads mid-ride on the waltzers.

Me and J went to watch the Ospreys at the magnificient Liberty Stadium in Swansea.

Me inside the Liberty Stadium. The Ospreys were playing Gloucester RFC and unfortunately, lost, 24-14.

J seeing off a hot dog at halftime.

Every time I go to watch the Ospreys they seem to lose. They are going to cotton on and stop me going one day.
