Playing at the park

A week or so ago, we went for a nice walk by the river. We found lots of dandelions to blow and also buttercups. We all liked butter as it turns out.

Everyone wanted to help with cooking lunch, even Monty:

Isla has been doing a lot of painting recently, and found out how to make green paint from blue and yellow:

Other people's shoes are very fun to walk in, especially Daddy's giant boots:

Isla's grandma and grandpa came to visit, which was lovely. We all went to lots of parks as the weather was fine. Grandma got her work-out for free this week:

Isla helped to plant out some tomato plants in our garden. We also now have runner beans, sweetpeas and lots of strawberry plants for the slugs and snails to eat! Isla has the job of going on a daily snail hunt and collects them in her bucket. She also loves to water all the plants, even if it is raining at the time.

She enjoyed Tumble Tots this week, especially the 'splat' apparatus which she went on over and over again. It is a big soft wedge on one end that they cling on to and get pushed over to splat on the mats below! We almost actually splatted a toddler who had wandered into the splatting zone. Isla is moving up to the next tumble tots group, so lets hope there is something as good as the splatter to try next time.
