Delamont

We took a quick trip to Granny G's house to leave off some groceries and see her this morning before we headed off to Delamont.  Cole wanted to go to the Bloody Bridge, but we decided we didn't have enough time and that will have to wait for another day. 

We had a picnic for lunch and then the kids ran off to the playground.  After a while they headed off to the outdoor gym stuff.  (as a disclaimer, Cole dressed himself this morning). 

After our workout, we headed off for a walk.  I know lots of these photos are repeats, but look at all the shades of green.

See the Mournes in the background? Lovely.

Strangford Lough.

There's supposed to be an island for every day of the year in Strangford Lough. 

In 1995, there was a project to raise a megalith in Co. Down.  The granite came from a quarry in the Mournes. 

The stone is 1000 cm above ground. 

There are more details on the whole project if you click here.

After we walked for a while, we headed down to practise skimming stones. 

Carys caught on camera giving Cole a good shove.

My little daredevil.

Chloe didn't want to be outdone.

We raced home this afternoon and then headed down to the Tates' for dinner.  We were well fed (as usual!) and the kids had so much fun playing with their (second? third?) cousins.  Barbara looked at Carys's head and changed the dressing ~ I think a little stitch would have gone a long way, but it's too late now.  It looks like it's healing, just slowly slowly.  It was pretty easy to get Cole and Carys into bed tonight, they were wiped out.  Chloe, of course, was still up and "not tired" at 10pm.
