Fourth week of summer holiday 2020

 10th - 16h August 2020

Weather: Hot!!

We've had another hot week, which ended with thunderstorms to cool us down. We really made the most of it this past week with lots of outdoor swimming in the lake and even the sea.

Both Monday and Tuesday afternoon we went swimming at the lake with friends. Note the very loose but still hanging in there tooth!

The tooth fell out on Tuesday while mummy was at the office and Isabella and daddy were playing.

Isabella wrote a letter to the tooth fairy and we managed to capture her on camera when she came by to collect the tooth!

Wednesday we went to the beach with friends. It was another amazing day and felt like an island holiday! We spent most of the time in the water and the rest of the time building sand castles. Isabella got to try out her body board in the little waves.

On Thursday Isabella finally got to have her hair cut. Like a real big girl she went in to the salon by herself. I dropped her off at the door with her handbag with my contactless card in it too so she even got to pay herself. She was a little nervous before, but afterwards asked if she can go in on her own every time from now on. That haircut was a bit overdue, but with lockdown and our hairdresser booked up when they were finally allowed to open again, we had to wait a bit. We'd rather wait than go anywhere else though!

Tabby enjoys playing Barbies with us. Here he was being the airplane-safety-checker-person-I mean cat.

One of Tabby's nap spots- by the back door surrounded by shoes. He has a bit of a thing for shoes!

And then Tabby turned one! Isabella spent a lot of time on the preparations and decorating his cake. We reckon Tabby had a great time. He must have been exhausted by all the excitement as he slept the rest of the day!

Looks just like him, don't you think!

Isabella blew out the candle and made a wish on Tabby's behalf, then told him what she wished for him. She didn't tell us though, we have no idea what it was.

Camping preparations! The rain stopped enough on Sunday for us to put up our newly purchased tent in order to have a test run and make sure everything is there.

And that was it. Now to pack the rest of our camping things and hope for dry weather!
