So the kids are all back at school after a fun Xmas new Year short break. Here are just a few glimpses of the chill time with old and new toys.
After chores are done the weekends are chill out time for the kids. As usual Tai spent extra time studying but also found time for play and practising his guitar skills.
I also managed to catch Gu working on the Saxophone.
Stratton House really is a great place to live with all the art and music mixed in with the sounds of laughter and happy children at play.
With the rain on and off again Saturday saw the board games coming out again.
So another week gone and time for the Sunday trip out.
With summer weather back for the day, it had to be Huay Tung Tao again.
Wispa only needed calling once and ran over to jump in the truck with the kids, clearly looking forward to the day out as much as they were.
We had a near full quota of children this week, general behaviour having been very good all round.
The children have pointed out a need for a fan in the back of the truck , as when the sun is up it gets very hot back there.
We will see what we can do.
We spent 3 and a half hours there this Sunday with the children building sand castles, playing in the water, and spending some time in the playground, on the swings etc.
Not forgetting eating kanom and drinking pop.
One minor, problem after about five minutes of being there , was poor little May getting a bloody nose after some over exuberant play on entering the water.
A plus side to this happening was seeing the care between children as Tai applied make shift first aid with the ice we had brought for drinks.
I stepped up my exercise, with much more serious swimming whilst there, but also found time to chill as did 
Boon.
