Lemoning, crabbing and kiting

The weather this week has been different everyday. We have had cold days that turn into hot days, dry days that turn into rainy days and rainy days that stay rainy all day long! 

Evie went to toddler group at Dyrham park this week. They learnt about butterflies coming from caterpillars, had to make a butterfly from a stick and some leaves and went searching for different colours of flowers to match a colour palette. It was the first time Evie has really been to an organised group without Isla so it was a bit different for her. She was getting the hang of it by the end, and was pleased to sign 'duck' at me when they sang a song about ducks.

We went for a wander before getting the bus back up the hill and found a load of lemon trees in the middle of the gardens!



Back at home, we have been eating lolly pops and keeping the cats away from our snacks!





Isla and Evie had fun making lots of food from play dough:



We went for a little walk out and about and found a few farm animals. There was a blue tit nest in a barn that we watched. We saw cuckoo spit and some beetles and tried to figure out if you could still get stung by a nettle if you touched it really slowly although we haven't tested this out yet.



It was a bit rainy on Saturday. We went to do a spot of kiting and got followed by some cows who wanted to admire the kite. We saw lots of deer and went on a tractor too.






Crabbing at Clevedon: a little adventure to the seaside saw us catching a couple of little shore crabs from rock pools.
