Not Back to School Day

Today we woke to sunshine and uniformed children from our street skipping off to school and decided to ditch our plans and head off out for a day of fun and fresh air.
I packed lunches and a book, Cameron packed paper, a pencil and a spade and we were off!
It was so beautiful we spent a little time just sitting and looking when we first got there.


We had a few close encounters with overly friendly cows, sheep and ducks before finding a fairly secluded spot for the day.


Cameron spent a lot of his time throwing stones in to the river to try and splash himself.




He was experimenting with different ways of throwing to find the best splash in his direction.


A little girl came along later on and copied him but misunderstood, thinking Cameron was throwing them at the ducks! It's a good job she didn't have a very good aim!
After lunch there was ice-cream and then Cameron did some sketches of the birds.




And then home for this very important event!
