Champ had a cub camp for the weekend. They were working towards their astronomy badge. He had a wonderful time. You can see in this photo, taken just after he got home, looking tired.
Constellations.
Boo went for a pony day - a whole day of stables and ponies and she LOVED it. These pictures are when we dropped her off. She was very tired and smelly when we picked her up at the end of the day but very, very happy :o)
A little blurry because I didn't want to use the flash in the stables.
Googs was so funny tiptoeing around the stable so that he wouldn't get poo on his new shoes.
Out and about with the other three while Boo was with the horses.
The kids go through phases of making Hama bead creations. It's a chance to wipe the dust off the iron :o)
You can tell that Boo has just come from a pony day as they are all she can think about.
After months of moaning at them to play with their hamsters, they finally get the now ancient animal out for a run around. This is one of the many houses that Squiggly got to play in.
Googs made a giant snowball out of playdough. He was very upset when his sister stuck her finger in the middle of it :o(
Apples!
Laying out the fabric scraps to see what colour I like.
I enjoyed making this quilt. It is very scrappy, and nothing was measured.
It is still not backed but is living on the couch regardless. I am so chuffed with it as it really brightens the room.
Counting the rings on the tree stump, whoever was closest were promised a hot chocolate.
The judge and prize giver. 
Another one of Kiki's many tantrums.
It was a lovely walk and the predicted heavy rain stayed away.
Howden Dam where the Dambusters practiced.
Pinecones!
Look how tiny the boys look.
The judge caved and bought everyone hot chocolate and ice cream!
Yum :O)
Boo wanted to take this elephant home with us.
They also had a jousting tournament.
They had chop the cabbage to get their points.
The jousting teams with replica armour.
The other team.
Jousting. The lances shatter quite spectacularly
This guy was brilliant! He stayed so still and moved when the children got near and gave them such a fright even when the children knew what he would do :o)
Boo wanted me to take pictures of her next to all the horses.
Boo's elephant again.
Blowing the eggs
Googs was surprisingly good at this although he did turn bright red.
Not being left out.
Dyeing the eggs. 
Drying eggs.
Our Easter tree!
oooh such fun!
I then buried the pieces in a bowl of sand. I made the kids wear gardening gloves when digging the pieces out.
At first champ tried balancing the bowl in the sand as he made it like we saw in photos, but that just resulted in the tape being coated in sand and not sticking.
Champ so chuffed with his bowl but told me that he didn't want to eat out of it :o)
Boo got a pink bowl.
Finished! The kids loved doing this and asked if anything else breaks if they can do it again.
