Celebrating double figures

This week my middle grandson reached double digits.

Jack turned 10.

 And what better way to celebrate than to head 

down to the lake with a couple of friends, 

a picnic lunch 

and a birthday cake.

The boys had a lot of fun, 

Jacks Mum and Dad have a mate who owns an inflatable dinghy

with an outboard motor

and he came down and took them for rides around the lake. 

The boys that is, not Mum and Dad. Then while he relaxed with the adults the boys had a go at paddling, rowing or whatever it was they were trying to do. Sometimes paddling and rowing was happening at the same time. They went in circles quite a bit, but no-one cared, they were having fun.

And of course they were taken out to the pontoon and enjoyed mucking around on that. As boys do.

When they came back to shore some older boys took it over, 

young teenagers, who when they saw some bikini clad girls not far away began doing push ups and generally showing off.

 Quite funny really as it was 2 of my grand daughters they were trying to impress and getting nowhere. We all had a bit of a chuckle because the girls hadn't even noticed them - or so they say.

Anyway, I digress. 

There was plenty for the boys to do both in the lake,

and on the shore at the playground.

At the end of the day after finally rounding them up,

(it's amazing how hard it is to round up five 

young lads when they are having fun 

and don't really want to be rounded up)

 they all went happily, or not, home to their parents.

Some were a little sunburnt too, I think, 

even though the adults were diligent with the sunscreen.

All in all it was a fun way of celebrating the big 10.

Wishing you all some fun and

sunshine in the days ahead.
