And just like that the holidays are over.
Earlier in the week there was a visit to try out grandragon’s new scooter.
Dad had a bit of down-time in the second week of the holidays, so we managed a trip to the mountains on the last Friday of the holidays. Here’s Huff waiting around for her brother.
And here she is with a hot chocolate (we’re trying to push back against a trend where we are ordering hot chocolates and then she’s not finishing them, hopefully a phase).
We managed to take the kids for a “pony ride” (not really a pony, but a horse too old for horse riding any more).
Huff enjoyed the horse riding more, and was keen to have another go on a longer ride – perhaps later in life.
The kids managed two trips to the library in the one week. Here they are after church, patiently waiting for their parents to finish talking to other grown-ups.
Sunday afternoon it was time for Huff to go on a walk with Dad. We managed a long-ish walk in the end, looking at this point for some ducks to feed.
We kept going until we found a large field where we could feed some other birds, and then had to hustle to race the setting sun, before it was too dark to make it back!
Overall, an excellent adventure, and a good counterpoint to Dad’s earlier walk with Puff.
