Amie swam very well with her arm bands on. She has no fear of the water at all and insisted on diving in herself, telling her daddy not to catch her... so she really needed to be wearing them. Noah also took to the water like a duck, would be great to get them both to swimming lessons once we're in the UK.
Amie and Noah were the palest children on the beach, no surprise really when you look at what Noah was wearing... but they both are blessed with their mother's Celtic skin.. so no point in him getting burnt really, it's not like he's going to ge ta nice tan anyway :)
Both of the children now have colds, which isn't surprising. It was 30+ in France, and today it's 13 degrees and LASHING rain. I've to go now and get the bus to collect Amie from Kindergarten. A huge incentive for me to learn to drive asap once we get to the UK!!
We had a really lovely time, the kids all had great fun. It was really nice to see Amie playing with her cousins, she's been short of playmates since we moved to Germany. Though we did forget to book car seats, so had to shell out 250euros to buy some.. and then I lost Richards 80G iPod in the airport. I'm really dissapointed about that because I'd bought him a new docking station/alarm clock to go with it for his birthday, and now he just has that an no iPod to go with it. But that's life, it seems when we go on holiday there's always some minor disaster.. and it could be alot worse than a lost mp3 player.
The drive to the airport on Saturday was pretty stressful. 20 minutes in we stopped the car because Amie didn't feel well.. which was lucky as she vomited when she got out of the car.. Then 20 minutes later Noah got sick all over himself, and his new carseat. It wasn't a pleasent drive, but we made it to the airport in the end and everything went smoothly after that.
