At last I've managed to upload the photos from our camping weekend at the sailing club last week and a few photos from this week too. Looking back at this blog it would look like we've been living at the club over the past month, which I guess we have. While the weather has been good it's been great to get away from our oven-like house and go have a dip in the lake.
Our giant tent.
One person - cheeky begger - asked us if we'd just erected the new club house! I guess we asked for that, having such a huge tent. At HESFES the size didn't seem so obvious as other families had big tents too. But here, next to all the little 3-man dome tents it did look like we were about to host the local circus! Despite the jokes, there were some genuine admirers. We must be getting better at putting the tent up as it took us hardly any time at all. And, even more surprisingly, packing up was fairly quick too.
This time we didn't put up the inner tents inside, and just had the huge space open, which was great for the hot weather.

Sailing in a paddling pool. Not the most stable of boat designs!
Ds1 set up a business selling spectacles made of grass stalks (and rabbit ears), as modelled in this photo. He seems to find an opportunity to sell something, anything, wherever we go!
Dh and dd1 enjoying the party, and the stunning sunset.
Ds2 'completes' the sailing boat in the playground (using a fishing net and a dog blanket)
Ds1 doing his Harry Potter impression (with home-made glasses, wand and broom(stick))
Ok, so you guys aren't wet enough, here you are! Spot the difference...
...two 'doggies' doing doggy paddle
Dd1 absolutely loves swimming. Even though her lips were turning blue and her teeth were chattering uncontrollably, she still wanted to go in again and again.
Somewhere under the blanket is a very cold, shivering dd1, having been swimming in the lake yet again.
