On holiday in Portugal

The family one evening at dinner

Bella and Malc went surfing in a very cold ocean. Bella did brilliantly, more than I would've done. Luckily I had to look after Sebby, who was a bit disappointed he was too young to surf.

The kids made lots of friends and had fun in the pools and trampolines and on the beach, with the requisite daily ice cream/lolly. The kids did really well at swimming. Bella could swim across the pool and Sebby as you can see was a demon diver, then would swim under water to the point that he ran out of breath about half way across, then hoped someone would save him from drowning, which thankfully we did.

One day we went to a pretty empty beach, you can't see the gale force winds..This is the beach Bella did her surfing on with Malc.

The view from the balcony, and walking down to one of the swimming pools.

Bella gets cool new hair (one day only)

Bella went for her hair cut, and looked very cool at Sebby's show. Trouble is it only looks like that the day of the cut when it's been blow dried by the professionals!

Sebby's show

Well it was that time of the year again, and Sebby was in a couple of songs at the school show. The theme was Switzerland. He (and all the other kids) sang Edelweiss, and How much is that Doggy in the Window (a st. Bernard naturally).
