A Sunday walk

You would be forgiven for looking at the following photos and thinking "aww what a beautiful family walk, sun is shining, kids look happy, mum and dad look happy, perfect day". Oh how the reality differs! Picture this instead... Eli whining every five seconds - "is the walk over yet, I want to go and play soccer" or "is there a short cut to this walk, I want to go and play soccer" or "how much longer left on this walk, I want to go and play soccer" or "we've been out here for like an hour , I want to go and play soccer" ad infinitum. Then there was Imogen who decided to bring along a handbag, and fill it full of  random toy pieces that she shoved in there until they were bursting out of the bag- not helped by the clasp being broken, which meant that random toys kept falling out of the bag every other step so she would stop, have a screaming, raging meltdown that it opened/everything fell out/that we tried to help/that she couldn't get it closed then she would eventually get over it, take two steps and start again. 







Doesn't everyone climb mountains with their handbags?!
