1 day holiday! (aka day off!)

Today we went on holiday for 6 hours!!
Things have been seriously busy recently and with the girls both away this week staying with Peruvian families, we took advantage of the space and went 1 hour out of Lima to Cieneguilla in the foothills of the Andes (where there is sunshine - yea!) Amazingly, I can't remember we ate lunch just the four of us, it was definitely over 2 months ago if not longer! We had a lovely BBQ lunch at the Mesa de Piedra (Stone Table) restaurant (Yes it did make me think of Narnia!)

Chicha Morada is one of Daniel's favourite drinks - made from purple corn! (yes it really does exist!)

Much to Daddy's dismay, Daniel and Joel think pushing the ball down the hole or attack the players is much more fun that actually playing the game. Mark learned that maybe his children were not quite ready for table tennis yet.

I did have a couple of times when I wondered whether we would end up in A&E today - the boys both decided to take a tumble - Joel head first down the stairs, and Daniel slipped on the top-metal rung of the 2 1/2metre high slide and fell to the floor. We went to get ice-cream to make it all better (thankfully no broken limbs!) and then Daniel was keen to head back to the park, the first thing he wanted to do was to conquer the slide!
