This week was the second half of the school holidays. We managed a sleepover with the cousins coming to stay over, and enjoy some adventures in a play centre (our kids are almost too big for these places now, but still fit the age limits, and enjoyed their time).
Somewhere in there was a visit to Costco.
After a lot of work days in a row, Dad took Monday off, and managed some one-on-one time with each of the kids. Dad and Puff went to the library, played chess at a cafe, and then managed a 4km walk to meet Mum and Huff for lunch. Here’s chess.
Here’s Puff waiting the 30-seconds or so before they appeared – to be fair, we walked, and they drove.
Before and after lunch (a sad realisation that the last time we’d been at this lunch place was with Grandragon), Dad and Huff played draughts, with Mum helping one of the players. Huff showed great sportsmanship, as she explained to Dad afterward.
From there, it was a bus-ride home with Dad and Huff enjoying some stories, sight-seeing and some snapchat filters.
We also had friends over (including their four kids) for dinner on Saturday night, and visited other friends on Sunday, so it was quite a full week.
The kids were sad to go back to school, but the day off with Dad was quite refreshing for everyone.
