Our Early Family Holiday















As we are unable to go on our normal Piper/Piper/Grice holiday in August this year, I made the suggestion that the Piper/Piper's went a bit earlier. Thanks to the bank holiday and the General Election the girls would only miss 2 days of school. So I thought 'Off we go'.
So at the beginning of May we packed up the car and headed to our holiday home (as the girls lovingly call it) in Fairbourne, Wales. It was a surprise to the kids as we didn't tell them where we were going, but they were thrilled when we were meet by Nanny and Grandad.
We did all our usual activities. Trip to Barmouth, Dolgellau and of course the Ice Cream Factory.
When we went to Blue Lake I was a little concerned about Elijah being free to run as we climbed the mountain, but he wasn't too bad. I always thought Phoebe was independent but she has nothing on Elijah. He walked all the way up and down on his own and would not be carried by anyone. We had a picnic when we got to the top and Grandad even recorded it so that we could show Nanny when we got back to the bungalow.
We had a really lovely week and it was just the break we needed.
