The girls are still at that age when jumping in puddles is great fun and who am I to say no?
It really was pouring down and by the time we got home just over an hour later we had to strip to our underwear in the hall as we were truly saturated but we got some exercise and we had fun, that's most important. The clothes can just be washed and dried!
We had some excellent finds on our trip out - conkers, sweet chestnuts, a marvellous toadstool, a whole load of mushrooms and even the most enormous shell from a freshwater mussel that a Heron must have fished out of the lake.
Take a peek at how happy my girls are collecting their conkers -
I'm really thankful to Mark Warner holidays who have challenged me get out with my family for all of October and be active together. It would have been so easy to have just stayed indoors but we would have missed out on the fun.
Have you had a good week, how have you managed to get active this week?
