picnic in the park

Dylan still loves to picnic! Lucky for us we live only a few minutes cycle away from Kralingseplas. The perfect spot, and what a lovely day!

Our picnics involve a lot of football! This is Dylan's favourite, favourite! He wants to be 'Keeper' when he is big! Time to work on those skills. Out here he doesn't have to worry about the ball landing on the roof or in the neighbours gardens.

 See that smile?

  Dylan even managed to get Travis to join in the fun.

 Then he got distracted, pretty flowers.

Off to check out the beach,

 which way shall we go now?

After all that running around it was time for a nap! Travis wasn't quite sure what we were doing.

Finally, time to eat!

 and eat some more... while listening to Papa reading a story.

lovely sunny day

I hope the summer is filled with sunny and warm days this year! The boys love being outside and especially love the balcony swimming pool! Travis couldn't get enough of the water and was quite disappointed the next morning when he went outside, he found the pool but just couldn't find the water anywhere!

 

 Yes, finally go them all in one hand.

 Heavy lifting!

...and out again.

'Painting' the balcony with Opa.

These need a little water...

What? did I hear you say ice-cream?

Yes! 

there's nothing like getting your hands dirty!

Cannero Riviera

We spent Easter with Granny and Grandpa,  in a really beautiful town at Lake Maggiore in Italy. Cannero.

It was typical Italy. Small town, old houses, small cobbled roads, beaches and amazing scenery.

We spent most mornings exploring different towns and Islands.

 We also ate a lot. A lot of pasta, a lot of pizza and a LOT of gelato! It was definitely Dylan's favourite word on holiday and he managed at least 2 icecreams a day. 

The boys loved the afternoons the most. Then they got to run around and play football, play in the playground and swim in the indoor pool.

I can't wait for summer and our next adventure. This time in France!
