Happy Birthday, Calum

2008-03-22 Calum's 6th Birthday

Snow? On Calum's birthday? Surely not. Surely as it happens. At least we hadn't planned a barbecue or trip to the beach or anything silly like that. Calum had decided he wanted to go bowling with some friends, and then we went to Frankie and Bennys for lunch. It was good fun although the boys were quite boisterous, so it's nice now to relax and enjoy a bit of peace and quiet. Calum got heaps of great presents including a skateboard (expect tales of cuts and bruises soon) and some cool Lego skeletons. More pictures if you click on the picture above.

Happy Birthday, Andy

The last full day of our holiday coincided with an anniversary of Vikki's dad's 29th birthday (to borrow a phrase). Despite getting two cakes we still didn't have quite enough room for the correct number of candles. We were worried he wouldn't have enough puff to blow them all out. Fortunately two volunteers turned up to help with the candles and with eating the cake.

In the afternoon, we went down to the Nevis Centre to go 10 pin bowling. If you ask me it's one of the most difficult sports to get decent photos of, but I thought this one of Calum posing was worth sharing.

In the evening we went to this place for a meal and a couple of beers. It was very nice and a fine way to round off our holiday.

We went home via Glen Coe where I was hoping we might be able to stop and take some photos of the spectacular scenery around there. However, low cloud and rain scuppered that plan, but nobody was sick so that goes down as a remarkably successful journey.
