Holidays are always fantastic family time for us as they are for most, however while on holiday in Tunisia recently I got to witness a beautiful bonding time with father and son.
During the midday sun we were looking for things to do to keep us out of the intense heat when Ollie decided to teach Joshua to play pool.
When I first went out with Ollie back in our teenage years he even had a pool table of his own so it was so lovely to see him teach our son to play pool.
Joshua although 4 is not obviously going to have an attention span that can take it all in, however after 3 games that day he had throughly loved spending this time learning to play ‘pool’ so we made sure everyday we took the time to take him to play pool and by the end of the week it wasn’t just pool it was table football too!
I love having the time step back and reconnect with my family and to see my kids grow and learn. Although there will be many many memories of Tunisia this on will certainly continue to make my smile for a very long time.
Aww thats lovely jaime its great for dads to have time to do spme connecting for sure xx
Ah that is so lovely that they got special bonding time. So glad you had a lovely holiday honey xx
Learning a new skill is a great way to bond. Cheeky Chap loves ‘playing pool’ with daddy as well, he says it means he is almost a grown up like daddy!
Aw little dude he is loving that! Great to catch up over the weekend Jamie
Very cute.
My kids would just end up hitting each other with the cues!

How lovely. Bet Joshua is already better at pool than me! #magicmoments
Aww this is lovely! Playing pool was always one of my favourite things to do on holiday!
my wife and I did a lot of early bonding over billiards also. We have a table now but its right off the little’s bedroom, so it doesn’t get the use it used to, but I look forward to teaching her to play soon
How lovely. We tried playing pool on holiday but it all went a bit wrong!
I think it’s great when kids learn games and activities that we used to do when we were their age. Who needs an ipad when you have table sports like pool, football and tennis?
Oh he looks like he’s having a lot of fun, its so lovely when they learn new games and things isn’t it? We passed a snooker club the other day and z asked me what the poster was showing the game. I realised he’d never seen it before!
That bonding time is so special, and finding time on holiday makes it even better x
It’s always such a wonderful moment to see your child boding so well with his father, isn’t it? There’s something so endearing about it–fills your heart with such warmth. Glad you were able to experience this. Thank you for sharing it with us, Jaime! Lovely of you to host #magicmoments this week as well. Always great to be a part of such great group of moms and bloggers!
This is so lovely Jaime, the photos really capture it and Joshua looks so happy 🙂 How wonderful that they got to spend this time together x So lovely to see you over the weekend!
Its lovely they have such a great bond and well done Daddy for getting the little man out of the heat. Its so easy to forget 🙂 Thanks for hosting #MagicMoments
