Bank Holiday weekend in August is traditionally the most miserable weekend of the summer...in fact four years ago we spent a fun but wet weekend camping with the Colin and Karen and the children. However, we really wanted to spend time with Nana and Grandpa and the Howlett Jnrs, so we bit the bullet. Unfortunately, Elisabet had a car accident just before we went which led to us being given a tiny Yaris for the weekend. Thanks to Jason's incredible packing abilities we were able to fit all the essentials in the tiny boot. We were sad to leave our table and chairs behind though! On arrival at the campsite, Elisabet and Jason assembled the tent whilst the children played and then the children helped "set up camp". Here are a selection of photos.
On Saturday morning, the Howlett Jnrs arrived, and we all went for breakfast in a nice little cafe with Nanah and Grandpa. All the children sat by the grandparents so that the parents got to eat dinner in peace which was rather lovely. The campsite, though rather basic, was set right by the beach so we had wonderful times playing together there. The beach was lovely and sandy, although the sea wasn't quite as hot as Spain! On Sunday we all got to go to Church together and spent the afternoon eating lunch with a breathtaking view of Snowdonia behind us. It was wonderful to be able to enjoy each other's company, to see the cousins playing together and to be reminded of the fact that we are a happy family who love each other dearly.
We nearly had a disaster packing on the way back! We thought we locked the keys in the car, but luckily managed to fit everything in and travel back in safety.
