Easter Weekend Fun ..

(Sending Archie away for a water retrieve)

Thankfully, Archie has made a full recovery from his infection. He had his first run out today since last Tuesday and I've never seen him so springy and boingy. We didn't go mad as he gets tired very quickly, but we had a quick 20 minutes out in the field and boy did he enjoy himself !


These pics are from the Easter weekend before the little man got ill. We had all the family with us over the weekend so we all tromped out to the forest for a walk one afternoon.

I did a little bit of retrieving with Archie which he absolutely adores ... as you can see.



The audience ... not sure everyone was particularly interested ...

Tilly trying to be helpful, bless her ...

I seem to have a whistle permanently stuck in my gob these past few weeks ...


The whole crew : From L to R - Nick & his parents, me & Boo and Archibald, my little brother & his family and then my parents.


Two Grandads putting the world to rights. Actually, my dad is telling Nicks dad one of his stories from his Policing days. I keep telling him he ought to write a book !


Mud Monkey, Boo ... She thinks that by having a pair of Muckboots like mummy gives her the red light to fill them with muddy water !


How could I get cross with that cheeky face ?

Bottoms Up ...

Bottoms Down ...

On the balance bar .... and No, I don't still have it !


It was more fun to jump off and pull silly faces !


A lovely weekend had by all, lots of fun, lots of laughter, lots of happy tiredy children !

Looks like a cracking time was had. Glad that Archie is back out into the field. And how grown-up is your wee girl looking!

So glad Archie is recovering - these Springers just love a bit of water, don't they!

Good to hear Archie is on the road to recovery.
Lovely family photos, looks like a great get together.
Fun photo jumping off the rail and pulling silly faces, that's a keeper.
Hope you get your crafting mojo back soon Laurie.
