We've made the most of the beautiful weather by building a lot of obstacle courses in the garden, as well as playing at the local playgrounds a lot.

Vin had his hair cut and made some Elmer ears to celebrate Elmer day We saw a show with a giant puppet tree Made up games in the garden And made our own home made pasta
