"good morning" they forgot to say as they woke us with the news they were hungry.  Poor poppets - they had forgotten the hotel serves breakfast at set times. Thankfully it was only 30mins away - as it could have been worse if they had woken at their usual time of 45mins earlier.

A continental breakfast buffet was terribly exciting...all those treat cereals served in the one place & you can have them all!!  Being their first real hotel/holiday stay it was all a bit exciting.

A hit of tennis became a battle of wills with SS getting frustrated by the lack of raquet respect & enlisted the 3 star jump rule. A decision some time ago in consultation with LittleMIssDuo that 3 pushups or starjumps were to be the punishment of choice (unless personal safety is at risk).  One was ok with this & completed her 15 star jumps. The other was not & 3 became a marathon effort to achieve.
Tennis lessons began some time ago, they are still waiting on the instigator (their mother) to actually take them for a hit.

The drive home, with a request to do it again at a place with a tennis court has been made. Putt Putt was also requested. It's just ashame they have the energy of a sloth after one activity.

SS helped put together their photobook (hopefully it inspires more holiday enthusiasm). They went over the road to play with Sav. I slept for night shift.
