Summer hols

We have been out and about this past week since Jamie has been on holiday and I finished on Friday for 6 weeks. Yes, 6 whole weeks. We are busy planning what to do; so far we are going to London to see friends, Dublin to see a friend and Belfast to see family. Emily wants to go on a roller coaster and to the seaside so we need to get organised on that idea. Joel's cardiology appointment will be the first week of September so we can plan our summer without fear of change and appointments. We went to Redhouse Farm to the wild west maize maze on Thursday. We had a lot of fun, although we did not make it the full way round. We had a ride on the barrel train towed by a tractor through the corn fields, pedalled our way on the go karts, climbed the haystacks and had a fun day out dodging the rain showers. We are so fortunate to be surrounded by cool places to go within 30 mins of where we live.

Are we lost?

Pedal faster, daddy!

very sweet holding hands!

Not very comfortable and very muddy

We have a list of jobs to do, including mending guttering and attaching the toilet to the floor, (Jamie tried to do that today but in true our house style - they glued the bathroom cabinets which house the toilet cistern.) Looks like we need a plumber and or a chisel! We will be busy.

We are hoping that the rain stays away, it has been too frequent this past week and we are running out of popcorn seeds as Emily has been having DVD time waiting til the garden dries out and isn't as waterlogged.

Off to bed as 6.30 comes early with the cry of, "Mummy, Daddy, can I wake up now?" As if she responds well to, "no!"

Cute.
