This summer the Doctor took flight for parts very southern for a month and the wee one and I had to keep ourselves occupied on the weekends in his absence. We had a lot of happy adventures. The time passed rather quickly in reflection, though as we counted the days it did sometimes seem like an eternity.
We had a day at Cairnie Fruit Farm which involved a large strawberry…
…finding our way around the maize maze…
… and some very gleeful moments on the trampoline.
Another afternoon was spent at the Science Centre in Dundee, which was hosting an exhibition of robots – the wee guy is quite the Star Wars fan (without having yet seen the films…that can wait) and he was very excited to meet these two…
…and have a go at manipulating these little robots…
…and have a go at making Iron Man hands on our way out.
This led to some inventive play with the old Duplo blocks when we got home.
We had a sunny afternoon at the beach…
…a lovely lunch at the Cocoa Tree in Pittenweem…
…and picnic tea on the beach after preschool…
…and celebrated Mama’s new job with some cheery flowers at home.
We counted the days…
…and finally Dada came home! We missed you Dada, we are SO glad you are back…please don’t go away again.
