118. Zoom! (We went back to Hotham Park next to Butlin's today, this time taking Laura and her family from Tired Mummy of Two. The Boy had a great time playing with Alison and Elizabeth, especially showing Alison exactly how much fun a zipwire is!)
119. Every Drop Counts (We called into The Vyne, a National Trust venue, on the way home from Butlin's today. More about that in my Country Kids post!)
120. Builders' Yard (I set up another small-world play scene for The Boy today in his water table which he spent quite some time playing with, before we headed off to gymnastics and shopping.)
121. Green Fingers (Wednesday today = first day at work of the week. However, this is not a sleeping photo which is a bonus. The Boy was determined to water the plants in the garden, something tells me this could take some time!)
122. Turning Point (After a good day in work, where I was more than happy to be on playground duty due to the glorious weather – so much so I took my classes out on the playground to do ICT that afternoon – mum and I took The Boy down the pier for an ice-cream and cycle ride. The sun casts such amazing shadows at this time of year. The Boy was having an amazing time racing up and down the pier, until he fell off and ended up with more than fifteen splinters in his right hand!)
123. New Glasses (After picking The Boy up at lunchtime from nursery, we nipped over to a small park in Cardiff Bay which I found a month or two back. It's next to the busy area of the Bay, but because it's behind a high wall and in a residential street, it's usually empty and so we get a chance to play in peace and quiet. I love this snap today for the comedic value.)
124. #22 Explore Inside A Tree! (We went to Tredegar House in Newport for the first time today. I vaguely remember going there once as a child with my parents and sister, but didn't think there would be much for children aside from a play park. It transpires that the National Trust had done a huge amount of work to make it interactive for children and they were also having a launch weekend for the '50 Things To Do Before You're 11&ยพ' campaign. We actually spent so much time having fun exploring the house – more on that later – that we almost missed the opportunity to cross off about eight of the fifty things. In the end we saw them and got ideas of how to fulfill them, but we didn't actually do any apart from #22 with the help of daddy.)

Don't we all need a shoulder to climb in sometimes? Great shot. Looks like a fabulous fun week (if you forget about the splinters)

I love his look of concentration in everything he does!
jenny paulin says

i love the comedy value of pic 123 and adore his little tongue poking out while watering the plants in pic 121. he looks much older on his bike wearing the helmet and sunglasses! i think my fav is him on the zip wire and him standing on his daddy's shoulders – they are really wonderful captures x
Rollercoaster Mum says
Love the exploring a tree photo – hope nothing jumped out at him. Off to check out your post on the Vyne as we nearly went there for the NT free day out and still plan to visit later this year.

Kara says
What a fun week, he looks very cool on his bike x
Elaine Livingstone says
nice to get out in the good weather. Love the on the shoulders tree, mine love exploring inside fallen trees. The glasses are really good, and ouch at the splinters, that will probably put him off riding his bike there again
Mari says
Some fabulous colours in those photos and lots of fun activities, LOVE that last one with the binoculars – I thought the red pole was a fake tongue at first!
CaroleHeidi says
Love the tree picture! My two have had lots of water fun this week – bet that bucket would have been on someone's head though – The Boy is so good!
Mrs Teepot says

mummyoftwo2 says
Fabulous photos it looks as if the boy has had an amazingly fun week!
Two of Everything says
I really love the shot of him peering inside the tree, it's great! Reminds me a bit of 'Guess How Much I Love You'! 'I love you all the way to the hole in the tree!!'
Johnson Babies says
Sounds like such a cop out to say I love them all- but they are all fantastic.
It really does make such a difference to have this wonderful weather.
Joanne Blunt says
The Boy looks like he's had lots of fun this week. The zipwire looks great. My boys love those too.
Red Rose Mummy says
Another gorgeous collection of photos here. It looks like you've had lovely weather all week. Ours has been very mixed.
Bud is very interested in watering the plants too, sadly he managed to kill our courgette seedlings by watering them with soapy water from the sink!
thisdayilove - leyla says
Beautiful photos, I love the one with him looking in the tree!What was inside?
Su Tyler says
oh dear hope the boy was ok after his fall.. Must have been painful with all those splinters.
Shell Louise says
Haha the watering the garden made me laugh! Looks like another fun week ๐ xx
fivegoblogging says
I absolutely love seeing what adventures the bot has got up to in the week. My favourite this week is the binoculars one. I love that it looks like eyes and a long red tongue ๐
Sara (@mumturnedmom) says
Lovely photos as always – the photo of him on Daddy's shoulders is definitely my favourite – what can we find inside this tree…?!
Foz says
The comedy shot made me smile!!
Trees are just so much fun…. and the zip wire picture is a great capture!
Lauren says
The photo of The Boy filling up the bucket is so cute. It looks like you are spying on him.
The shadow on the bike pier shot is fabulous.
Thank you for linking up.

I've just realised that Cypriot trees are a bit rubbish!
