We found a new park !

We already had Goat Park, so this one has been dubbed Boat Park !

Yes, you've guessed it - Pierre thinks the boat belongs to Iggle Piggle !

iiiiigggggglllle .... !

This is the effect that In The Night Garden has on Pierre (and Juliette, who only looked round for the photo !). The first thing Pierre says in the morning is "park ?". If he gets a no for that, it's straight on to "Iggle"? He now says Iggle Piggle and Makka Pakka and likes nodding along with the Tombliboos !

We have a new swimming pool !

Well OK, a paddling pool ... but this time next month it'll be the real thing in Turkey !

Pierre was too shy to go in - he sat on the side and played with the floating toys in the water !

Which left extra space for the girls so they weren't complaining !

Festival of the sea

Juliette's feet could only just reach the pedals on the pedalo !

This boat and the red one below are the two that we went on yesterday to visit

Sophie on her surf-bike !

Pierre the Pirate and a couple of princesses

Pierre's latest game is ...

blowing raspberries at the dogs !

and at me !!

He's such a cheeky chops !

Picnic at the beach

Where are we off to today Mum ?

Sun cream - check ! Bucket & spade - check ! Picnic - check !

You would not believe the number of times the girls "got pins and needles in their feet and needed to go and run around on the sand for a bit" before finishing the picnic !

Cheese and squash - bit of a strange picnic for Pierre !

Sophie used to cry when you put her down on the sand with bare feet - not Pierre !

If you look closely, Pierre has sand in his eyes, hair, mouth, ears and up his nose but he doesn't seem the slightest bit perturbed !

Oh well, at least whoever graffitied the concrete sheep used green paint, I suppose !

You can tell he lives with girls !!
