#CountryKids After school tea in the park

It's been another stunning sunny day up here in Cumbria and when I got in the car after work it had an unbelievable number on the temperature gauge:

So I went home, grabbed my shorts and a picnic rug before collecting the kids from school. We bought a take out from the chippy and headed for the river in Staveley park. Once we had eaten the children didn't take long before getting in the water. Apparently it was still rather cold in there!
Meanwhile I laid down and enjoyed my Kindle with a lovely view:

Eventually they grew tired of the water and headed back to the playground on the other side of the park. It was lovely watching them help each other on the basket swing:

What a lovely relaxing way to round of our week and get us in the mood for the carnival on Sunday:
