Telford Town Park playing in the sand

The day before his hair cut. He looks sweeter, much more child like.

After the cut. He's more boisterous, and looks older to boot.

I remember when I was a kid a can of pop was huge. All a matter of scale.

I was sitting on the bench watching these two play in the sand ppit on the slides and stuff, run back and fore for pop, watching their footprints in the sand and as other children ran over them.

Thought this picture of foot prints would make a nice poignant moment.

Throwing stones into the River Severn

This is a favourite spot on the river. There's a huge bank of pebbles, but not much scope for paddling.

We usually park up at the top of the town, buy an ice cream and walk down to the other end where this bank is, near the big bus car park, by the museum.

Why they want to take their shoes and socks off for I dunno. With all those stones I'd have guessed they would have learnt by now, but they don't listen to my advice...

Amanda called us back for dinner, "it'll be ready in 10 minutes." Jeez I think it'll take 10 minutes just to put their shoes back on, then we've got to get back to the car, and drive home...

Shopping centre kids

They have great fun in Telford shopping centre. Nice and safe for them to run around. No cars. Good security so pretty sure they're not going to get pinched nor lost. Mind they'd shout at the top of their voices were they to get lost.

   Another pet hate is having Esme's face painted. I give in today. First time ever. Amanda always has it done. I'd rather move past to something else, in too much of a hurry, I guess.

Bouncing trampolines

Doh! I hate the trampolines. But I get caught today. Esme says, "do you have money today?" Yes. Why? "Yippy, we can go on the bouncys!

Tricked.

So, I have to stand attentive at the nets, while I hear, "watch me Dad," every split second. Yes, I'm watching.

   On the way to Telford Park, we pop into Dawley. It's a busy day in the High Street, so I take a picture to make the moment.

Market day in a Friday morning is very busy. ";->"

On the way back from school, in the back of the car

Whenever I point the camera at Bradley, "oy! Bradley, turn-around!" He says, "cheeeeese." That's what he's saying here. You can almost hear it.

   bradCarCheese.jpg

Another cheeeeese.

Notice the longer hair?

esmeCheese.jpg


She looks ever so old in these glasses. And instead of pulling a pose she says, "cheeeese" too.

A war is about to start? Bashing heads, as it turns out I distract them and we're outta the car and in the house pdq.
