After a late night working (yes that still happens sometimes) Meriel needed to wake up. Luckily it was perfect conditions for wake-up boarding - I mean wakeboarding.
Meriel's 1st ever time - and successfully up and running.
Lenny's 4th time - carving and jumping.
The conditions were perfect.
Wow! that was fun (sorry no photos of the actual wakeboarding!)

The proof
Even though you can't actually see the kite - this is a kind of proof that Lenny is up and running with his kitesurfing.

Return to Jaonnet
After a 5 year reluctant absence we returned to Jaonnet during Imogen and Georges stay. Even though it's our favourite beach it's not easy to get to with small children. Jonah has sadly still not been as he was at school.
We swam and snorkelled before returning home to prepare for an evening's kayaking.

The tractor watchers
It's certainly worth commenting (if only so tht we can look back and remember) that since Cara has been walking, Jo and her play together with increasing frequency. It's really nice.
Coffee break
We are back to Thursday coffe mornings after a short break, although there are hardly any coffee drinkers these days at these sorts of things. Perhaps children are sleeping longer and parents don't need the same stimuli to keep themselves going.
The cofee morning thing in itself isn't so worthy of note, but the picture is.

Le Voi de Travaille
Had a lovely long weekend visit from Helen, Kirk, Finlay and Alice. Jo and Fin played constantly for five days and were almost like one child who runs around itself and occasionally loses itself in contradictory circles.

Walking to Fermain
One of the benefits of living on the Jerbourg Peninsula is the walking. We're surrounded by clifs and the walks down to the beaches are gorgeous. I'm carrying Cara back from Fermain Bay where Jo immediately ran off into the water - shame we hadn't packed for swimming.

Jo - no stabilisers
Meriel took the stabilisers off Jo's bike yesterday and he had a few brief seconds of unsupported, two-wheeled riding.
Now all he needs to do is keep pedaling, look where he's going, don't stop pedaling, look where he's going, DON'T STOP PEDALING!

Cara's wet teddy
Cara dropped her teddy in the bath (we'll never know why). When she saw it on the washing line she was a bit distraught - she does love teddy.

Jonah's photos
Jonah got a camera for his birthday. He now has his own Flickr account. He'll be choosing HIS favourites to put up there.

New Kayak
We decided YES.
Meriel went to Jersey yesterday for a kayaking trip and came back with this. It's a sit on top kayak (Islander Hula for those who care) which we can take to the beach and anyone can use. It's easy to paddle about but can also surf.
We took it to Vazon today and tried it in the small surf - it was fun:-) Even Jonah got to have a go. Modelled in this picture by Drew.

Try out Kayak day - Grand Rocques
Today we helped out at a try out day for people who want to go kayaking. The sun shone all day and there was an excellent turn out (I reckon about 60 or 70 people got to have a go). Even Lenny got to go in a kayak.
We're very temped to buy a sit on top kayak so that Lenny and anyone who visits can get out on the water (My kayak is very customised to my size). Even Jonah could have a go. Watch this space to see what we decide!

Jonah is 4
Although he still had to go to school today.
He's got a camera from his mum and dad and a tractor from his Grandma.
It's going to be a busy day.

Boogie!
Cara can now walk a decent distance (I think 58 steps is the record so far). She's also cornering quite well, which was a problem for her in the early days of walking. Now she just needs somewhere to walk to.

Cara's walking
It happened on the 11th May, I think. So we didn't get it on camera (although looking at the event through an LCD screen is highly overrated and can't really be classed as watching the actual thing), but Cara really walked. She didn't even seem to notice it, it was just a way to get from A to B without having to go through the hassle of getting down, crawling and getting up again. Of course we couldn't get her to do it again and it's been two days now without a repeat performance.
