Wales, despite all the rain, is slowly wooing us all. We are loving all the castles and the exploring we get to do here. We found this amazing bike trail here called the Mawddach Trail that takes you right to the ocean if you stayed on it. And we also went to this little beach called Shell Island which was full of all sorts of treasures for us to find. We even found a rugby ball that has ignited a rugby flame in Isaac. (And what a great country to discover rugby in! Every other channel on TV has a rugby match of some version!)

| Harlech Castle |
 |
| Hi Umo! I want to be a rugby player too! |
 |
| I think Josie loved Harlech Castle the most |
 |
| The kids running the walls that were 50 feet high. Be thankful you can't hear me yelling "STAY ON THE INSIDE OF THE PATH!" |
Bike riding the Mawddach Trail.

| Had to invent a way to make our bike ride last longer than 2 minutes ("mom my legs hurt ... so .... bad....") |
 |
| His handles were my pockets |
 |
| Make a silly/mad face guys! |

 |
| SO thankful for the chariot! (thanks Squires!) |

| This is our little private river that runs beside our house. This is us cooling off after a big ride!) |

| As you can tell by her face, Josie's other highlight is the amount of Land Rovers we see. ;) |
I LOVE all these pics!! Josie has grown so much since you left! The pic of her and Luke holding her up!!! And the pic of the kids watching the waves is incredible. Love them all! Miss you guys! xo
ReplyDeleteStunning country! How many Josie-trick-pics will you have at the end of this adventure?
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! Save me a shell one of these times at a beach! :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad the frequent rain isn't spoiling your adventures. The ocean pics show some blue sky so that's great. Good thing I wasn't with you at Harlech Castle...whew! The walls were so high! Love the pics of Josie either asleep or her hoodie over her eyes. So cute. Ella could be on a modelling job - she's such a natural in her poses. Beautiful.
