Well, the open air pool opened today but we decided to give that a miss - we'll wait for better weather and avoiding the first day rush (the pool opened at 11:00, but the queue was already forming at 10:05 when we went to the indoor pool).
In the afternoon, we took a walk up to Dunnottar Woods where the Forestry Commission were doing some stuff. We played Giant Connect 4 and Giant Jenga....

...played some cool tunes on a giant xylophone...

...and then we had a go at bodging, under the guidance of Dan Dan, the Forest Man (as I like to call him). We all had a play with some axes, a shaving horse and drawknife, and then a foot operated lathe. Unfortunately we didn't have enough time to produce a smooth finished product of any use, but it was very good fun.
The boys also assembled some little woodpeckers which were pretty cool as well.
Giant Jenga looks mildly dangerous. Those are big blocks...
ReplyDeleteEspecially when you're Calum sized - I thought he was looking a bit wary during the game.
