The playpen was supposed to be for Madison

Of course, her brother wanted to be inside too and play with the coloured balls. Dad joined later.

Most of the early part of the morning was spent arm deep in a huge basket of Lego finding precisely required pieces for various models.

Later we went gambolling in the complex’s pool, enjoying water fights.

After lunch it was time to collect Madison from daycare. We have her for the next two days. We all went the Alga Norte park to play on the skateboard park and all the other equipment. Madison watched everything going on.

A child centred evening with lots going on, including playing in the ballpen.
