{Outdoor Lessons}

Once again we were spoilt by the fabulous weather, and once again it was far too nice to stay indoors. Once we had done the necessary jobs at home, we packed up lunch, our art supplies, a few books, and headed off down to the park.

This was our "classroom"...



We read another chapter of The Mouse and his Child whilst eating lunch. Then the children played on the play equipment for a while.






Then we started to make a few sketches of what was around us...
















and I took some more photos...



We are going through a really good spell at the moment, I'm absolutely loving all the time I am spending with the children and the conversations we are having. Idyllic really, just idyllic.

Right, must go and walk the dog, and then Tiegan has been begging to do the "Egg in Vinegar experiment", so will set that up too.

{I like it at the park - no actually, I LOVE it!}

So said dear Callum as we got to the park gate at lunchtime for our picnic. The weather here was just glorious, far too nice to be stuck indoors. We packed a bag of goodies and trundled off up the road to the local park and playground area.

I think the pictures speak for themselves...

























Whilst the children were busy either eating or playing, I searched the hedgerows for things to photograph...
