What lovely muscles you have there!

Even the kids got up late this morning, so everyone got a lie in. wahooooooo. In fact we didn't have breakfast till 10am. We watched the Olympics and saw Great Britain get a silver. Fabulous. It was very exciting.

Huffle and Smallest played a game on the IPad and Small and I played Monopoly U-Build. Then Small read for a while and I made the days picnic. Smallest had a tantrum - can't even remember why now but at least he calmed down by himself and came and said sorry. It wasn't the only one that day, there was another one later, which was about not carrying a beach umbrella! Silly Boy!

We didn't get out of the house till 1ish and so after packing the car with our beach stuff, we went in search of dinner. We found a pub we had seen a few days ago and decided to try there. They were not kid or family friendly unfortunately. Nothing for the boys to do except get bored. The food took too long and when it did come it was disappointing. The boys shared a pizza (it was expensive and yet quite small). Huffle and I had Quiche and Salad. I really liked mine but Huffle wasn't impressed!

We parked the car near the Beach and walked to the ice cream shop (again??????). We walked and ate, and ate and walked back the front and sat and ate and watched the boats.

Then we went on to the beach and set up our camp. The boys went in immediately. It was a scorcher today. The beach had loads more people on it, the busiest we have seen it. Still we managed to find a spot. Actually we were next to a man playing the guitar although we couldn't quite hear it.

It looks deserted because I like to try and make it look like we are the only ones there. Not interested in getting other people in on my photos, unless I want to!

We buried the boys under the sand......................

We buried them under the shade of the umbrellas but had to take it down to take the photo as we couldn't see anything. Smallest was actually laughing his head off but he looks like he wasn't enjoying it here.

Small is making him a new belly button and tickling him too much whilst doing it!

.........and we gave Small a new muscly arm and huge hand!

We swam. I read for ages and ages and ages.

The boys all played boules.

The kids played on the swings and the slide.

We had our picnic tea, by which time most of the people had disappeared.

Whilst having tea, we gave Smallest English Lessons. Testing him on words that are used here and then back in England. He did really well. This was prompted when he told us he need to put his rubbish in the Trash!!! I called them 'guys' earlier too. OUCH!

Small pondering whilst eating his apple

Smallest's picnic tray.

They met a boy called Roger? (that's what Smallest said his name was!). Smallest left his shoes on the beach and had to run and find them before we got in the car. Then small left his hat on the beach but we didn't realise till we got back so I drove back and walked the beach till I found it. I did!

The boys and 'roger'

My hat makes my shadow look a bit like Mary Poppins.

One last swim

Well done to Unc Pear for winning the county Championship for a record 9th time. Yaaaayy.
