We had an adrenaline-charged experience at X-scape (huge wedge-shaped building full of fun-packed wallet-emptying stuff near Braehead) this weekend.
The Panther is celebrating another birthday – counting back to see if he can make it back to 0 – and as part of the jollies we thought it a good idea to take the Boys tobogganing at the Sno Zone.
It was a good idea. We spent a contented 45 minutes plodding uphill and whizzing briefly down again.
Later on, thinking the events of the evening were over, we strolled back to the car – Panther and the Boys a little bit ahead through the evening breeze.
Nothing quite prepared me for the sight of both Boys flying backwards through the air like they’d been caught in Dorothy’s twister.
The Panther grabbed a hysterical Boy Two and Boy One quickly came to a sobbing stop against a table.
It seems that on a gusty night the wind sped up around the monster building knocking two little boys off their feet.
The kind chap who helped us sort ourselves out did say it was always a bit windy on this corner.
In the end, they suffered nothing worse than a few bruises, a nightmare or two and a couple of lost balloons.
