Is this an account of the events of the 2nd of May?

I have been trying to account for
apparent differences in what happened on the day that the article seems
to suggest is May 2nd..Because the lady
says 'it was the day before she disappeared', I assumed it was the 2nd
of May.But have I got it wrong somewhere? I can't work out when this
happened.Can anyone help? I've looked at the tennis sheets, creche
records and Kate's book and I can't fit it with this lady's version...

Information from the article;

''The day before she disappeared,Maddie spent an idyllic afternoon playing in the sun...

...Maddie was wearing a little pink top and blue skirt
She and Louie were kicking a football around the play area for about an hour
Maddie's mum Kate,38,relaxed on a sun lounger and watched her daughter whizzing down the water slide
Maddie's dad Gerry,38, was playing tennis on a nearby court at the time, and
after the match he joined Kate and put his arm around her.''

Compare this with Kate's account of May 2nd (snipped)

''Today
it rained.The children went to their clubs,but our tennis lessons were
postponed.Instead we joined Fiona, David and Dianne at the Millenium
restaurant for coffee. We then returned to our apartment and a little
while later I left again,to go for a run with Matt...

Gerry and I picked up the children, had lunch in the apartment and then took them
to the play area for an hour before walking them to their clubs. The
tennis group lessons were rescheduled for the afternoon:Gerry's group
first,
followed by mine.After that it was the usual routine:tea with
the children, playtime, bathtime, milk, stories, kids’ bedtime''

Wednesday 2nd May tennis booking court one
adult classic 1 9-10 (rain)
10-11 adult classic 2 (rain)

tennis does not begin again until 2.30. Weinberger is on court two at 2.30.

2.30-3.30 adult classic 2
3.30-4.30 adult classic one

Wed 2nd may CRECHE RECORDS
Madeleine signed in at 2.45. by Kate, out at 5.30 by Kate
Twins signed in at 2.40 by Kate, signed out at 5.20 by Gerry

So
is the article really about May 2nd? Because I don't understand how
Kate is described as watching Maddie 'whizz down the water slide' while Gerry is
playing tennis. If Madeleine is playing, where are the twins? Because
the creche records show them being checked in only 5 minutes before
Madeleine!

I'm SOOOOOOOOOOO confused...

Where is the water slide ? Any pool photo I have seen did not have a slide. Does someone have a reference please.

There's a separate topic about this silly story.

Tigger has posted that there is nothing in Kate's book about Madeleine playing football.

Mention has also been made elsewhere of there not being a water slide on the site.

Complete and utter hokum not only from Kate as usual but from Mrs Boyd, whoever she is.
