Whilst visiting our family in Hampshire, we spent one night camping at the Wellington Country Park.

Anyone staying on the campsite is allowed entry to the country park after the park has closed. This meant I had the adventure playgrounds all to myself, so I could burn off lots of energy.

We also walked around the lake, explored the enchanted forest and the dinosaur trail.

We spent the next day at the park and I had great fun:

• on the jumping pillows
• in the splash park
• in the sandy play area
• riding the miniature railway
• playing in the playgrounds

We timed our visit really well as there was lots of baby geese around, these are called goslings.

We bought some food from the centre and I was able to hand feed a family of Egyptian Geese and a family of Greylag Geese. I also found a really cool big black beetle. When we got home we researched the beetle and learnt that it is a Typhaeus typhoeus (minotaur beetle), a member of the dung beetle family. It is named after Typhon, a giant of Greek mythology.
