We had a BBQ and watched the Olympics.
210 Sunday Up early and off to the Welland Steam show for the day. We got home around 3pm, the weather was gorgeous, so paddling pool out. After tea, Son and Daughter in law went home leaving granddaughter with us for her first ever sleep over. After some painting, a bath, nails painted and several stories, she settled after one return to bed and was snoring within 30 minutes. In between watching the swimming we watered the garden, tidied up the toys and prepared for our camping trip in the morning.

Ah that's lovely having a first sleepover for your Granddaughter. Looks like quite a busy week, and nice to spend so much time with family.
ReplyDeletewe didn't think she was going to leave lol
DeleteI think we were probably more excited than she was
DeleteI love how you’ve managed to keep up with your daily selfies with Peter via the video calls. Sounds like you had a lovely day out at the Welland Steam Show and so nice to get the paddling pool out especially with the hot weather we’ve been having. How lovely that your granddaughter had her first sleepover with you. #project365
