Ahhh....the great outdoors. We love it!! Don't stay inside on a dry day. Get outside, play and discover together. Try a scavenger hunt or a play in a stream. Float sticks and sink pebbles. Laugh, lots. We do!

Its important for all of us to get together outside. Nothing beats a picnic with friends on a nice day.
Generally the mums sit round and chat/knit/eat/drink tea. The kids are let loose and fend for themselves.
There are no 'rules', no 'Stay out of the water!! Keep on the path!' etc...
Our kids are responsible for themselves and get along really well. I sometimes liken it to a mama bear
watching her bear cubs. They might well have a little scuffle or fall down, but if you leave them...guess what?
They sort it out themselves. All natural behaviour that kids display in groups.
I'm sounding a lot like David Attenborough!
Water play is a huge part of our outdoor days.
Whether its raining or not, we get on our waterproofs and go for a paddle.
We got home after this particular trip and read
'We're going on a bear hunt' for our bedtime story.
