A Romp of a Day

  Well, we've had a lovely week, but not a lot to show you in pictures.  We've had some friends over for tea, that's dinner for everyone back home.  The kids have adopted a pet hermit crab that lives in a bucket outside the front door.  They've found an ice cream tub size collection of sea glass down on the shore and collected a pile of other treasures that will require some culling if we're to make our weight limit for the return flights.  

   But today we had a fun weekend outing with friends that had me snapping the shutter again.  Here is the McPhereson family we keep talking about.  Samuel and their littlest are both hiding in high chairs at the end of the table there.

We went to a fun local event on the pier where the local fire engine and rescue boat were open for touring.  Here's our own "Fireman Sam."

The rescue squad is bigger than life!

We also played soccer at the city park and attack hide and seek at Clickimin Broch (wonderful old ruins) but the rain clouds kept my camera securely stowed.  But we finished up the day back at our little cottage (this week we're down on the South end of the Mainland again) with pizza and movie night.  The kids loved watching "Babe" especially with all of the sheep we've been seeing here.
