We’ve moved into the slightly crazy end-of-school-year stage.
Where every week there are different things to remember, all sorts of meetings to go to at the school and various activities and events on for the children.
Last week it was sports day for both the children, so I spent pretty much the whole day at the school. At least with one child in the infants and one in the juniors I felt like I could properly watch and support them both. I really felt for the parents who had more than one child in the infants and had to somehow split themselves in half to be able to watch both of them do the different events.
Rhys had been on a hike along the seafront with the cubs the night before so didn’t quite have his normal energy levels but he still really went for it with each of his events, and he was beyond excited when his team won at the end of the morning.
With a busy few days though we decided to have a quiet one on Saturday. Nerys and I went to the library but that was about it.
So on Sunday we went for a good stomp in the woods after swimming lessons so we could all get a bit of fresh air.
One of the things we love about Clyne woods is that there are so many different little paths you can wander down and explore.
I reckon you could go there week after week for months and have a different walk each time.
This time round we found a patch of mature woodland that seemed almost like it was set up for a little bmx track. There was what looked like a ramp towards the top that the children had great fun jumping off.
I’m so pleased I managed to get this action shot of Rhys leaping off it (with sticks in his hands of course). It makes me think of the matrix with the pose he was doing in the air.
We only meant to pop out for about half an hour but ended up walking in the woods for about 2 hours.
The child in me loves exploring and finding out where different paths go, and Steve loves showing us different parts of the area and telling us about the history of the place. If you’re ever in the area and want a local history tour then he is definitely your man!
You can’t beat a nice quiet day to recover from a busy week can you!
That picture is awesome! Sports day was like that for me last year, having to try and watch A and T whilst they rotated around activities. It was hard! x
I love the action shot! Sounds like they had a great sports day too – I’ll have both of mine in the same one next year before two years of one in infants and one in juniors 🙂 #LivingArrows
Great action shot captured! We love a good woodland walk, and then seeing it change our the seasons as well. #livingarrows
Sounds like a great place to explore. There is something so peaceful about being in the woods. Love the action shot and I thought the matrix too! What is it with sticks? Monkeys the same x
My girls are both at the infants and luckily they put siblings in the same team, so I could watch them both together. It was really lovely to see them together x
