Friends came to play...

We ate lunch at ours and the kids played for a while before we headed out.  It wasn't the hottest of summer days - however it was mild and we're not ones to let the weather stop us - so we set off on the planned outing to the beach!

The girls are hardy and were in the water within minutes!

They were splashing and swimming for well over an hour. After a quick clean up and change of clothes it was time to hit the ice cream shop and saunter a short way along the road to a play park.

After a while hunger pangs encouraged us to move on to the next town where we could eat fish and chips overlooking the Harbour.

We then walked to another park Milly had been keen to show them. Unfortunately it was short lived as they came to close it five minutes after we got there:-(

A pity, but there will be another time....

Milly wanted to take them to a park near home. However Liz was in dire need of a cuppa so we made plans to head back to ours with a promise of a trip to the park and then they could set off on their two hour journey home from there.

We got to the park about seven thirtish and reluctantly the girls came away around nine thirty!!

Pleasurably exhausted at the end of a very full day :-)
