We had a day very similar to the past two, but with the variation of hanging out at Beate's house as well as at the lekeplass and our house. It was such a lovely scene: Beate and I sitting in the shade talking while the kids played in the water, on the bikes and in the tent, stopping every now and then for some cookies and juice. Here are the troops with Yasmin.
Eventually we made it back home for an early dinner outside on the deck. But soon the troops were stripped back down to nothing and playing in the water again. Tryfan figured out that he could climb into the little tub of water and Rhiannon soon followed suit (or lack of, in this case). They laughed and sang and splashed and made such a ruckus that our neighbors on the non-Gaius side came out to see what was happening. Fortunately they are a friendly sort and we had a chance to talk about golf and bike rides in a neighborly, over-the-fence type of way.
Earlier in the day, Rhiannon convinced Tryfan to lay down and pretend he was a baby so that she could be the Mama and put him to bed. She let him eat raisins in bed so he happily laid there nibbling his treat while she attended to her other babies (Maria Isabel and Tiny Maria, not pictured).
Now the kids are fast asleep and some high clouds have moved in to cool off our 80 F/ 25 C day, bringing our lovely weekend to a close.
