Outdoor Family Fun

With the weather being so beautiful over the past few days, we have enjoyed lots of time outdoors in the sunshine. Not only only is spending time outside in the fresh air beneficial in terms of your health and fitness but it's a great way to reduce stress... which some of us parents may be suffering from now the summer holidays have arrived!

We have taught the Mini Mes how to play rugby properly with an official HSBC Lions ball...

We had a BBQ at my mums (which also involved assembling the BBQ and cooking everything for her) and drank lemonade from wine glasses. Because we can...

We walked the dog a lot further through woodland and fields...

and Minxy sat in a cardboard box, strapped to a skateboard and rolled down the garden while dressed as Iron Man...

As you do!

What outdoor fun have you had as a family this week?

Saturday Caption

 

Unfortunately the Mr really does go out in public looking like this, but thankfully it's only when he walks the dog!

 

 

Have you got a funny or witty caption for this rather bright outfit?

I'd love to hear it!

 

Have a great weekend

 

 

 

Woodland walk

Everdon Stubbs is somewhere I remember visiting as a child; getting stuck in the mud, riding my bike and building dens, so it was nice to take the Mini Mes there recently for the first time. I had totally forgotten it existed until I looked for new places to walk Spartan!

We had a lovely time exploring the woods, getting muddy in huge puddles, looking out for wildlife and spending time outdoors as a family. 

There is no fee for parking so it was all free too!

Our week that was - Outdoor fun, detoxing and Lush

Sunday the Mr and I had a browse around the shops before heading out for a long walk with the dog. I sliced up all of my caramel and chocolate torte I had made to give to family and saved one slice for the Mr to enjoy. The temptation was too much so I had to give it away before I ate it all!

Monday with the routine of school returning I had a workout before work and spent the evening visiting family with the Mini Mes

Tuesday I received a surprise delivery in the post of some Toffifee and a book so I had a read and a few treats before popping the rest in the fridge to share (I will be slim).

Wednesday Minxy received some books in the post that she won from her magazine so she snuggled up for a read before heading off to her dad's for the evening with Jamster. The Mr and I stayed in as unfortunately he had his wallet stolen at work so he spent the evening cancelling bank cards and speaking to the police.

Thursday was my cousin's 16th birthday so after work and school we visited her with some lovely Lush goodies as her gift.

Friday I went to see Les Miserables so we walked the poochie a little earlier than usual. Jamster found a small hill and pretended to be a ninja on it... I don't know where he gets it from!

 Today we headed to some nearby woods that we hadn't taken the Mini Mes to before and we enjoyed stomping about in really thick mud and exploring. The trees looked a little spooky as the sun began to set.

We're going on a bear hunt...

BEARS...

Rather cute bears though!

To make our dog walking a little more exciting we decided to take some inspiration from some books this week and we first chose to make our plod across the fields into a bear hunt!

Inspired by 'We're going on a bear hunt' by Michael Rosen.
