Happy Birthday Lara Croft

Jnr Snr is 11 today and she showed how much she's grown in the last few years.

We took her to a high ropes course in Sheffield and the once-timid little creature zoomed off from us at a 100mph and was doing the final high leap before we were halfway round. She even did the whole course again!!!

She loved it.

Then it was a Japanese buffet lunch, a trip home and a walk down town for an ice cream feast at a new parlour that's just opened. I had a banana split with three scoops, and cream, and toffee sauce, and nut sprinkles.... I wish it was downhill back home as I could have easily rolled the whole way.

Happy Birthday sweetheart - you are growing up far too fast for my liking, but much to your liking :)
