If you go down to the woods today

Day 9: Saturday

Weather report: long heavy showers, on and off all day. Except it was still hot so we dried out quick and still managed to go to a country park and cook a BBQ.

Today was a little more relaxed after the previous two days busyness. We got up and relaxed our way into the day slowly, especially me who had made the mistake of making a caffeinated the at 9.30pm the previous evening (I didn't mean to) and couldn't go to sleep until 1 am so daddy let me sleep in and I woke about 9.30 this morning.

We packed up a picnic and headed to the country park. We took a walk along the river, hoping to see some local wildlife as the water is really clear and it would have provided a good viewing. We saw a lot of fish including alligator gar. We also saw a stork across the river bank. The rain showers came and went and we dried off quickly.

We sat under a covered area and BBQ'd our lunch and the smalls all played on the play area during the dry periods. Bean and Pumpkin took turns at pushing each other on the swings and GDS played with Plum on the slide and the swings. J, 4, found a caterpillar, although how he spotted it i don't know. It looked like a small bottle brush and was double ended.

We got some lovely photos today, can't wait to add them to the posts.
