Smallest got up and seemed a lot better, but we still decided to stay in and around the pool today. It was very very hot. Breakfast was pancakes al fresco with lashings of fresh fruit and maple syrup. Lovely.
After a small game of football, we spent the rest of the morning by and in the pool. Swimming, touring, squirting, splashing. Games of Jenga Truth and Dare (which proved difficult next to the pool), a Scrabble game that lasted almost all day and two games of UPSET.
Huffle painted some more trellis and we had a visit from Ottos chickens. I have been thinking about keeping chickens but our other neighbour told us you could only keep them in 5acres of land. Well that's that then!
The photo bottom left is a chicken looking at huffle's mushroom. Yesterday Huffle identified this as an 'Artists Conk' and not edible - shame, it's huge!

Almost a perfect handstand Huffle - please point your toes next time
We had a 'cobbled together' dinner at lunchtime and came inside to eat and also to cool down. Moo then made us a Gruffalo Crumble (Rhubarb and Strawberry). Huffle and Smallest skyped Grandma and Grandad on the porch and had a good chat.
The rest of the afternoon was at the pool. More swimming and splashing and a very funny incident when Moo was trying to squirt me in the water and fell in. She toppled in at slow motion and dunked herself in completely, glasses, and all, fully clothed. Aww we did laugh a lot. She cooled down though.
A bit later Moo threw Smallest in the pool but he wasn't very happy about it. Oh dear, never mind! There have been plenty of times when we have thrown Small in but Smallest informed us that he cried too!
Our resident Cardinal. Not at all angry!
Small came home from camp about 5:30pm, tired and hungry. He told us all about his weekend. Two hours waiting for a hot dog that was awful on the way there of Friday. Fishing (he caught two bass), swimming, boating, kayaking, hiking, being car sick, being in a car with a driver who was falling asleep!!!! He is happy to be home again with a flushing toilet, nice food and his loving family (he didn't say that but I think it's true).
Plants were watered, everyone had showers, the boys had tea in front of TV and the adults had tea while they watched TV.
