Ahh, summer fun!
We spent a lovely afternoon in PoHo with Lee and the boys. Pizza, a visit with Great Granny B and watched some of the Olympic closing ceremonies (I REALLY want one of those lightbulb hats!). Good times.
It's always fun to visit, especially for Henry, because Auntie Peepee does super fun things like contorting herself into a pretzel to take her wee nephew down the playhouse slide. This is after noticing that he climbed up the ladder on his own while the grownups had their backs turned for 12 seconds!

But, today's visit was EXTRA fun because Lee & Chris's neighbours have an AMAZING pool and have, even more amazingly, given permission for the unruly folk next door to use it while they are away.
The kids took to the water like, um, fish taking to water, and a jolly splashy time was had by all.

The kids are (fingers crossed) on the mend after a full week of sickness. Evy still had a wee fever this morning but them seemed grand for the rest of the day. Hopefully that's the end of this mystery virus that knocked us out for a week. Surely a litre of chlorinated pool water up the nose is a cure for almost anything?
It's not even mid-August and I'm already mourning the end of summer. We've just been SO busy and have crammed so much fun into the past 6 weeks, I have to say I don't really want it to end. Or maybe I'm just dreading the ridiculous sobby mess that I'll be next month when we walk Madame E to school for the first time? Sniff.
