1. Jumble (The Dog), Grandma, Jack and Anne all having a water gun fight I joined in too a bit later on. For a little while Grandma was spraying jack with the spray gun! We started out playing volley ball then we went and got a blanket and a chair and had a sit-down the Jack got out the spray gun and started sprayng Jumble and we had a water fight. It was great fun.
2.Jumble loves the water. Whenever you go near water, ZIP! she's in there as fast as a bullet. She also loved drinking water from the hose and the water gun, as you can see in the picture. She had just turned one when we left for home. She's quit obedient and sits when she's told but if there is something really interesting she will ignore you except if you've got food.
1. One day we were taking Jumble for a long walk and we found this river. Jack had his wellies on so he went paddeling. I took my shoes of a rolled my pants up and came in too. We were finding rocks and skiping them. You can just see Jumble on the left of the picture trying to catch the rocks that jack and I were throwing. We went looking for things and in the end we found a pointy fence post, a hammer, a bottle and a coiled, long piece of wire. We had lot's of fun!
2. Jumble in the water at the creek we went to in the last picture just to the left of here you can see that we tried to build a dam, but the water either went over, under or broke through it.

This is a stomp-rocket! There is a tube that goes from a big, soft plastic box to a tube that is held up buy a stand that you could point in any direction. Yop put the rocket on the end of the tube and jump on the plastic box and the rocket shoots off. Jumble liked catching the rockets but if you, at the last minute, pointed it in a diferent direction, she would run the wrong way and look at you puzzled. This is Anne just about to shoot the rocket off. The field that we were in is one that we walk through every morning to take Jumble for walks. Jumble always used to cahse sheep if she wasn't on a lead but after a little while she learned not to.

 

1. Grandma and Anne at the Brenig*. We had a great time there. Theres a park there with lot's of equiptment including a tyre slide, a raised platform that has a wire going from a beam above it to another beam above another raised platform. There is a tyre attached to the wire and you hold on to a rope that is hanging down from it and you push off the platform and you slide through the air.
2. This is us picking billberries that we used to make a pie. We were going up a mountain called Moel Famua and there were a huge buch of kids on a camp (about one hundred of them) right behind us the were walking pretty fast and catching up with us so we decided to take a detour to avoid them. When we turned around we found a whole heap of billberries. So we ate our lunch and put the billberries in our lunch bags. While we were picking billberries jack was making a shelter as it was starting to rain. I decided to help him. I found a really neat spot underneath some branches of pine and just enough space to crawl under. We first put down fern leaves, then we cushioned it with moss and lichen, then put some more fern leaves over the top. It was quite cozy. Then the kids that were behind us came back and we got the bags and dived into the shelter we made. It was convenient because there was a huge ditch just in front. So we could see peple but people couldn't see us.
