Egg on yer face!

This morning Huffle and Smallest went out and bought an Apple Tree. In the Spring we had seen a many fruiting Apple tree that had three different types on one tree. This is what he intended to get but he came home with a normal one instead and three Lilacs.

Small and I stayed behind and played Mario Bros Wii and had a tour of the Portugese Villa (Grandma, Grandad, Aunt and Unc Pear, HB, CousinPest and M&M are holidaying there) by Grandad.

Huffle skyped them once home whilst watching the football (stoke won so huffle was pleased) and the boys continued on the Wii. I got to finish my book on the Porch. No more knitting for me as I have a hurt elbow, too much knitting I am guessing!!).

At lunchtime we set off for Whitby and had a Fish and Chip dinner followed by a stop at the park just next to a beach and the lake, where the boys had a good play before we scooted and walked along to the exercise park.

Here we all had a go on all the exercise equipment. It was quite nice to exercise by the lake though it was very busy. Might come back in the week and do a workout. Lots of groups and parties going on.

We then walked along the boardwalk, by the lake and around to the Marina where we happened upon an Open Day where they had bouncy castles and games, a BBQ and gift bags for the kids. The boys played a 'throw the egg' game where they literally threw eggs at each other. The idea being that they caught them but Smallest threw them wildly at Small until they smashed. He also threw one so high in the air it hit the Janitor man who had just told me to be careful in case I got egged! We stayed for a good couple of hours until the kids were worn out and then scooted and walked back towards the parks.

We found a lighthouse at the end of a concrete walkway with benches lining it. People were fishing from here and sitting watching the boats.

We drove home and Small watered the garden for us. Smallest and Huffle played table football and then the boys had their tea.

It was an unexpectedly nice family day today. There is always something going on here. Festivals, parades, family days, open days. I suppose we have to make the most of it. Autumn is on it's way. The leaves are starting to change colour and fall and before you know it, it will be winter and everyone will hide away. Ha ha!

Huffle has managed to fool our computer again into thinking that we live in the UK, therefore enabling us to watch BBC Iplayer including Channel 4 and ITV. He hasn't been able to get Channel 5 which means we can't watch Neighbours (though it probably hasn't moved much since the 21 months we have been here). We are currently trawling the list of things we can watch. Happy times. There is never anything on to watch this time of the year, so not only do we have things to watch now, we can watch English stuff too. Hurrah!
