A week with Ziggy

We headed to Oban for a week to spend time with DD2, SIL2 and Ziggy. Sadly, by my standards, it was far to warm most of the week to be out and about and if we left the walks till the evening then the midges were out in force and you could play dot to dot on me with the amount of bites I had. So we tried to stick to shaded walks during the day'

So in no particular order here was some of our fun. 

We went to Ganavan beach, Jack ( the golden lab) decided in the water was the best place for him.

Then we had a picnic before heading back.

After Ziggy's nap she went put on the patio to play.

had to laugh...she now comes towards the camera just like her older cousins.

After tea we went up to the top garden area with the bubble machine and the dogs.

up to cut the grass with it

in the shade of the rhubarb leaves....a few people warned us of the dangers of these leaves when I shared this on Faceboog.

pegs are a lot of fun

She willingly let Ziggy have her toy, there were no problems at all.

On Saturday afternoon Ziggy was a way to a birthday party. All the children got a plant pot with compost and sunflowers seeds to plant, so Ziggy planted hers.

and watering the seed, this made for mud fun

On Monday morning DD2 had an appointment and so Ziggy and I went to the park.

on the slide, I am not so keen on this piece of equipment as a few gaps up the top she could fall from.

Another day we went back down the park with my daughter.

When her dad got home on evening he got out some uncooked spaghetti and marshmallows and did some model making with Ziggy.

these two really took a shine to each other

On Sunday we all went out together to Appin to see Castle Stalker and take a walk.

She did well, was over a mile to where we ate our snack and she walked all the way, but did get carried back in the back pack.
