Here we are exploring Balloch Country Park at Loch Lomond on Tuesday 17th June. We found a good picnic bench for lunch and then we strolled down a HUGE hill to find 2 parks and a wee beach.
Finlay really liked playing with the diggers in number 2 park that scooped up all the sand, and Mora and Lucy spent ages running in and out of the water in their wellie boots.
Walking back up the HUGE hill was a physical challenge for the ladies!

Here is Sam on the climbing wall. Sam was first to do this today then all the other children followed his example and tried to do it too!
This park is usually half an hour walk away but today it took us 5 minutes to get there because we went on our mni bus (woo hoo).
The park men were there cutting the grass while we were there and when they left they actually locked us in the park. Sad but true. Luckily there was another exit so we managed to get out ok in time for lunch.

Last Friday we ventured a bit further and went for a picnic lunch at Mugdock.
This park got the thumbs up from us all and we especially enjoyed the zip slide (even the ladies tried it). The adventure trail was very challenging for us but we managed most of it!!

Here we are evaluating this new park. It was lots of fun even in the rain.
We really liked this big tyre swing and spent ages on it, but there was also a climbing frame that had pirate pictures on it so some of us were pretending to be pirates!!
Leo wants to go back 6 more times.

This was what we did yesterday. We went to see what was happening to the River Kelvin after all the heavy rain.
We discovered that the river was “faster” and “bigger” and “browner” than usual.
We also played a game of hide and seek in amongst the trees that was great fun except for when Melanie nearly slid down a muddy hill!!!
