What we've been up to...#3

Daddy has started marking for AQA this week, but the rest of us have been out and about enjoying the brilliant sunshine...

Playing snakes and ladders at a local playground

A new addition - someone has donated their playhouse to the playground

It has been a particularly hot and sticky week so the beebs have all been finding it hard to sleep...

Tahlia with her sleeping companions; she moves between beds before finally succumbing

Another night she sets up camp in the corridor

 We enjoyed a day at Bumble and Grandad's house playing in the garden.

Picking raspberries for our lunch (though not many made it into the bowl)

Ptolemy's uncles rode on this little bike

Setting up a car racing tournament

Cooling down in the paddling pool

It was lovely to enjoy a visit from Helen, Andy and Harrison who live in Beijing, China.

Harrison and Zachary defend the goal

Ptolemy loves his new Chinese panda Russian doll set

Everyone tucks in

It all got too much for some

We visited Paignton Zoo this week with Bumble:

Playground fun

Watch me, Mummy! Watch me, Mummy!

Monkey fun

The goat takes a liking to our bags

Zachary particularly wanted to see the giraffes

Goat grooming

Free roaming lemurs

Zachary loved watching the gorillas fighting each other for their food

A few fun activities at home in the sunshine...

Making a nest for our decorated eggs

The bird and nest have a new home in the playhouse

A spot of gardening

Getting compost for our new buxus bush

On Friday we once again headed to Cardiff (with Bumble rather than Daddy) for a bridesmaids get together with Auntie Phobe. We had a good time trying on dresses, accessories and hairstyles.

Zachary's first port of call was the numbers

Cuddles with Auntie Vickrum

Zachary's volleyball game

After so many hot sticky nights and busy days, everyone is just a little tired...

Nice and relaxed after their nap
