Totes Amaze Balls

I got up early because the boys were noisy. I tried to read my book on the porch but got interrupted by a mosquito, so I tried to read in the sun room but got interrupted by noisy boys!

Huffle got up next and then Aunty A soon after (probably after Smallest got her up). We skyped Aunty Miaow and then made some pancakes for breakfast.

 

Smallest's creation

After a very late and lengthy breakfast we got ourselves sorted, made a picnic and went to the beach.

It was very very hot. It wasn't supposed to be that hot but it certainly was. We set up three umbrellas.....

 

Huffle, AA and I took our books just in case the kids let us read. They did for a while. Especially when a man came by with a dog called Olly. He asked Smallest if he wanted to throw the ball to the dog. He did, many times. The dog showered him with lake water too.

Small also had a few goes. We had to take the boys out of the sun because it was soo hot (did I already say that?). So we sat and played Monopoly Deal under the shade of the big umbrella which we made into a tent.

 

"can I have your yellows please?"
Is that a Beer Aunty A?
After two games, we had our picnic and then the boys went for a dip. They both swam and we waded in with them. The water was icy cold. There was no way I could have swam in there.
 
 

Just pretending to be grumpy - not properly grumpy!

Sooooo cold.

"oh I got my trousers wet"

The kids decided to dig a big hole to try and find the wet sand they needed to make a sand castle. Of course they needed the help of a grown-up. Huffle was called upon first......

......... And given the smallest spade to dig (he he he he)

 

Then it was AA's turn to dig.

Smallest having a quiet moment by himself.

After we had all got sand everywhere and lots of people started turning up to the beach, we headed off for an ice cream. So we packed everything away.

Ummmmmmmm
Climbing
Where do their legs end?

It wasn't the best ice cream we have had but it was okay.

We drove home, got showered, had tea and relaxed. Huffle put up some pictures. The boys played a computer game together. I blogged.

When the boys went to bed, we played Monopoly Deal and Ticket to Ride.

 

Hope Aunt Pear & Co have a lovely holiday. Very jealous. We will miss your comments and updates. Send us a postcard please if you see this before you go. xx
