The joys of 8
Although it does seem that nowadays kids are wrapped tightly in a blanket straight-jacket of Health & Safety rules that stops them from experiencing anything that even looks like being a little edgy; like putting up posters without goggles *gasp*!
So whenever the opportunity presents itself, we chuck our sprogs into whatever adventures come their way, like boating on the local reservoir. It’s especially at times like these that I remember my own yoof.
…and yes, this does mean that if the kids drop any food on the floor our first response is to pick it up, blow away any floor based additions and place it back on the plate for them to eat. If you raise kids in a sterile bubble, don’t be surprised at what happens when that bubble bursts.
Anyways, here’s our smallest enjoying his day out on the Reservoir.
