Lost Track of Time

As the title of this post says, I've lost track of the time....over the past few weeks I have missed recording hours towards our 1000 hours outside challenge. I'm trying to count back what I've missed but I don't think I'm going to get it exactly right!

On a similar note, I've hardly taken any pictures this last couple of weeks so don't really have any to share.

We've done a lot of garden hours....trampoline, paddling pool, slip 'n' slide. That kind of thing!

However, there have been a couple of evenings where we have spent time outside, which isn't the norm for us. We've discovered that we still have hedgehogs visiting our garden, so have spent time looking for them, and managed to snap a pic of this (very fast) little one 🙂🦔

We also spent some time watching for shooting stars. The Perseids have recently been at their peak and J & C & Mr MudAhoy all spotted a few, unlike me (maybe I just blink every time one passes?)

Until next time... (and hopefully I'll have some pictures then!)

Summer Holidays

Well, I've bee slacking a bit on updating this blog but we've just been generally enjoying our summer holidays. It's so nice not to have the hustle and bustle of school/clubs etc.

Me and L took a trip to Wentworth Family Farm, which is small but great for a little trip out. They have a good number of animals, and hourly opportunities to meet the animals close-up. The have a good, pirate-themed playground including a water play area (taking a change of clothes is a good idea!)

Whilst at Wentworth, we also visited the Historic Gardens....we visited the Bear Pit (as seen in the picture below) and completed the Maze, all whilst completing a treasure hunt. Great fun!

The holidays certainly make getting those outside hours a lot easier. Being able to nip out for a quick walk around the nature trail near our house is just wonderful.

More updates coming soon!
