Today we went for a walk in The Peak District. Santa had bought Steve a book with walks in Derbyshire with children so we thought we'd try one out. The one we chose was around Derwent Water, we've been for short walks around there before but never for a proper walk. The weather wasn't too bad, it was dry but a little cold and got colder as we walked. At the highest point there was 'icing' on the
ground (poor Beth was a little bit disappointed when she realised it was frost and ice especially since icing is quite possibly her favourite food!). Toby was in the carrier and seemed fairly happy to be there. I think he got a little chilly (we need to invest in a snow suit for him) as his hands, despite the gloves, were little blocks of ice by the time we got back to the car. This pic is from
New Years Day, bit cheerier than him looking cold! Part way round we had some soup (very organised I thought) and that perked Beth up - I think the hill had worn her legs out. She did really well, the walk was about three miles and she did the whole lot herself.
I think the tiredness hit her around five o'clock at tea time when she asked for a bath and didn't want anything to eat. We managed to shove half a plate worth of food into her then off she went for her bath and was in bed before six. Toby, not wanting to miss out on the bath, had a good splash but was having none of the bed so he had a good play until just after seven.

I love the bit about the "icing" -- poor Beth -- what a let down! She looks exhausted in the tub picture. And Toby looks absolutely adorable in his little sweater vest -- I love it!
Wow, that girl is getting big! And what type of toy is that for Toby!? That just smells of trouble and someone crying. Hope you all had a great holiday. Happy New Year!
We are educating Toby to be a thug . . . got a problem with that????
