So It Begins

Happy Birthday Squirrel
4 already. Where has the time gone?

After dropping The Cygnet off at his martial arts 'Super Hero Camp' we took Squirrel for breakfast (where I got my blip of the teapot spout).

After that we had to go the Scottish Owl Centre to get a new toy owl for Butterfly .... she lost the one she got when they were up a couple of weeks ago on a trip the Chester Zoo and was distraught - it is now in the post flying south for her.

It was then off to the beauty salon for her first ever professional manicure where she chose her colours.

When we got home Squirrel got herself dolled up as a skater girl and refused to take it all off again - even when her father's side of the family arrived for cake.

In the evening we went to watch her and the rest of family doing something she wanted as a birthday treat ........... climbing!

The biggest hurdle to her and her brother was a lack of reach, not a problem for her Dad (fear of heights was his). She obviously takes after her mother who was the only one to make it to the top off the high pipes.
But that didn't stop her trying everything and she loved the hardest one.

At the end of the session one of the coaches came over to tell us how impressed she was with Squirrel and how well she had done.
