A little fishing trip.

The holidays are coming to an end.  In one week, Big Boy will be back at school, the girls will be back with us, and the crazy term-time lifestyle will be revisited.
So we're trying to fit some fun stuff in over the next few days :)
Yesterday was a fishing trip.  We went without a licence, but we also went without a chance of catching anything, so I wasn't too bothered!
On the way, we saw a crane being built for the new science block.  This was a fun distraction for a while, as we watched massive bits of crane being taken off the back of a lorry.

The crane is now completed, and presumably ready for action.  I can see it being a distraction for some time to come...
But we did make it to our fishing spot in the end.
Sadly, there were loads of reeds in the way, so it was difficult to reach the water.

Also sadly, most of the little jetty things were covered in water, and while Big Boy had his boots, I only had trainers on.  Thankfully, he avoided falling in (though did get one of his socks wet...)

However, we still had some fun and, despite my pessimism, managed to catch some things:

All in all, a good day's work :)
Love you Big Boy!

Playground antics

Quite amused by this photo. It's Big Boy pushing Little Boy on the swing, but he's paying far more attention to the girl on the neighbouring swing than he is to his own little brother. 

Maybe you had to be there...
