Climbing.

Today I went with Alexandra and the girls to a friends birthday party.  Peter had to work.

It was a very hot day, but luckily there was a lot of shade at the house.  The kids all had a wonderful time.  They all arrived in their party finery, but that was soon stripped off, and swimmers went on, as they enjoyed playing on a big slippery dip.

Isabella had a ball, she didn't know most of the children, but that didn't stop her, joining in the fun.  She ate loads of food too.

I sat in the shade with Mia, where she charmed everyone with her cooing and giggles.

We had a lovely time and stayed a lot longer than we planned.  We had two very tired children, when we finally made our way home.
