unexpected visit to the beach

we tried to go swimming at the new pool... the clever tactic was to go late so that we'd beat the busy period... instead this backfired and we arrived too late to be allowed in!

so we went to the front for a little frolic and an ice cream.

the children found the fountains and got soaked anyway.. all good fun (apart from /as well as the fake German accents?! they sounded more like the puppets' Swedish chef ...random 11 year old girls!!)
