Decorate the forest

Another lie-in. Lovely. We had heavy fog and localised fog warnings until tomorrow morning.

After breakfast, all the boys watched Stoke draw against ManU BOOO! I sat upstairs and watched the end of The Queen which was disappointing.

For lunch we went out and had a lovely dinner with rubicks cube solving and a game or two of Monopoly Deal. We wanted to go to the cinema to watch Fantastic Beasts but it was only showing at 7pm so we went for a walk instead.

Huffle drove down to the lake and we started walking at The Mushroom House. Smallest took a bouncy ball and we bounced and then Huffle and Smallest started playing Human Bowls where they rolled the ball towards Small and I and it had to get close without hitting us. We ended up on the beach again (my fault this time). It was very eerie as the fog was coming down quickly. The boys threw stones and sticks in the water and we wandered along the beach until we hit a river coming in to the lake and we couldn't cross.

Along the way we spotted some random things:-

Decorations randomly in huge trees, an abandoned kids wagon and a fully decorated Christmas tree

We played Pooh Sticks and turned round to walk along the other way. It got too stoney and rocky so we went back onto the trail and continued playing with the ball. Eventually we turned round and walked back. I think we walked over 3.5miles and I definitely did over my 10,000 steps.

Back home we watched Pete's Dragon, had tea and watched Ninja Warrior UK.

After th kids went to bed, Huffle and I watched the film Arrival. It was really good once we figured out what was going on.
