We decided this morning that we should get the tent down whilst it was nice and dry, even though we had decided to not go home until tomorrow. As I was about to go outside to start this task, it started to rain, and did not stop. It wasn't heavy, but we didn't want to pack away a wet tent.
Me and Emily played the first of our newest games bargain - the old classic - Downfall (50p) Emily quickly picked up on the strategy. We played with 8 counters each, and didn't worry about the order to get them through. The first game I won - Emily still had 4 left. The 2nd game Emily only had 2 left when I finished, and the 3rd game she had only 1 left as i finished. THen we played a game with 5 counters each that had to come out in the correct order - and Emily won!
We had promised to take the girls out again after lunch (allowing daddy to work in the morning). Because of the rain we decided to go back to the Littledown centre for a swim. We had been here already on Saturday with Sally, Kelly, Helen, Andrew and Cara - but the girls all love to swim and they all wanted to go back there even though Naomi and Liesl knew they would not be able to go on the flumes. You have to be a cofident swimmer to ride the flumes - so on saturday Emily had shown her confidence by swimming the length of the learner pool on her front, and then on her back too! Emily said the pool at the end of the flumes was deeper than her height.
By the time we got home for dinner the sun had dried the tent. So we were able to pack it away almost completely dry.
On Friday we didn't get away from Bournemouth till 11.30am and we had a long hot day in the car, not returning home until after 8pm.
