A lovely day

at Nunnery Wood. The woods were lovely and peaceful, although the picnin and kids play areas were very crowded! Alex loved the monkey bars. He'd never managed them before, as he's quite small, but got the knack of it today. After a couple of tries, he made it all the way across with me taking photos. Then he had to go all the way across to show Daddy, which took a while, and by the time he wanted to show Ruth, he was exhausted and his hands hurt, but he wouldn't give up until he'd managed it.

Check out the determination on that face!

Got there!
He was so proud of himself, but had to have a nap when he got home as he was so tired.

Ruth enjoyed the swings - love this action shot. The first I took of her swinging, and it came out the best :)

There is a story behind these apples - we had had a small bushy tree growing in our front garden since we moved in 9 years ago, and always thought it was some knid of weed, and meant to take it out, except that it provides a bit of privacy from the road. Then last year we looked up, and there were 3 small apples right near the top. We were so suprised that we thought someone had stuck them there as a joke, but this year we have 20+, and October Afternoon have the most beautiful apple paper that I got in the June SC kit, so I can't wait to scrap the photos - yay!

Off for a cup of tea and some Jammie Dodgers - my waistline is screaming at me to stop, but they're just too yummy.
