A la mer 2014

Tristan having his annual pony ride. This time we broke with the tradition and had 'noisette' rather than one of the successive Paulies.

We went rowing although it was a bit more like pinball as we went from side to side bashing into the banks.

and the return journey - a bit wider on the return fortunately

the trip down to the beach

and here we are on it, digging one of many holes.

Sam in one of the holes, while he still has long hair (just before the chickenpox led to a forceable removal!)

Sampling the sea - not warm

Sampling a chocolate shoe - very nice.

We went for a cycle ride (Tristan got good at this with the lure of the beach at the end of it did it everyday) and a walk in a forest infested by giant ants.

Tristan made an assault course.

Chickenpox

Chickenpox has struck the junior members of the family - even stuffed animals have been affected!

To begin with we weren't sure that it was the dreaded pox, but then the day afterwards (having sent him to school) there was no denying it as the spots got bigger and more like spirit levels.

 Tristan was absolutely fine with it (as long as he got regular films). This lulled us into a false sense of security and made us think that it would be good if Samuel caught it too (cue sharing toothbrushes for a week!)

Sam had it when we were in France and really wasn't at all well and had millions of the things. It wasn't made any better by the pink skin staining medicine that the doctor gave us in France.

Sam got so used to our interest in his spots that the head-up position became his standard being photograph pose!
