A Day With Dad - 50's Style

SS came for the weekend. It's taken me a while to blog about it, but photos of her and the boys are all too rare. We decided to go climb the "mountain" (this at BB's request.) He climbed the same hill 18 months or so ago when mum was in Gabon. This presented the perfect opportunity for mum and baby to get some much needed rest.
It's not much of a hill, but a fair climb for little legs. BB and SS were excited at the bottom.

LL was much less keen! He is less than impressed when the gradient of any walk is slightly elevated. Nevertheless, he made it all under his own steam.

We got to the top. The elder two were still chirpy, but you can see LL still has a bottom lip that presents a fair old trip hazard.

He did come round though. We wondered around the top for a while. It's an old pictish settlement close to where we live. Lots of rocks and stones to clamber over. Fine for a wee rest though.....

After that, we came home and refuelled. Then we kicked off a 5 mile (round trip) bike ride to the park. LL was much more at ease with this since he gets the back seat on my bike.

BB was keen to show his big sister that he can go all the way to the top of the climbing frame. This has been his forte throughout the Easter Holidays.

SS did manage to give him the slip for a brief moment though.

MPLST came along (not on bikes!) to join us for a while. No doubt she knew I'd stop for ice cream on the way home. She captured us setting off for home again.
