Summer seems to be properly here at Tea Towers now – the paddling pool has finally been dusted off and filled and much fun has been had splashing about in it.
Water everywhere
We’ve been busy with work inside the house too with Sam and Emily doing a spot of baking.
Baking fun
I’ve also had them working hard at getting the sofa hovered… though this seems to mostly involve making towers of cushions to jump on!

The sun has come out so we’ve just been for a walk round our favourite park.
We gave some recently repaired rhinos some love.
Blew some bubbles.
Gazed up…
…and enjoyed the beautiful sky.
Then finished up by improving our frisbee skills.
Sam, Simon and Emily modelling their Pikachu ears and showing off their pokeball suncatchers.
We’ve had a fantastic Pokemon morning with our our friends Simon and Daniel. We made our pokeball suncatchers by sticking bits of tissue paper to circles of sticky back plastic and then had a go at cutting out Pikachu ears to go on head bands.
Sam and Emily have also been busy making their own Pokemon cards… we are having a great time looking up which cards we want to copy and coming up with our own special attacks for them.
As it is another damp Manchester Summer day we thought we would have a play with the guinea pigs in the corridor (to prevent them getting under any of the furniture and causing havoc!)
