Loch Long

Went to Arrochar yesterday and stayed in tent on edge of Loch Long.
Saturday afternoon was great fun. The night was a bit more challenging and we are all pretty pooped today.

Our tent and the Loch...

Patiently waiting for dinner...

Throwing stones...

Zonked...

On a crabbing trip...
A crab! (actual size about 4cm)...

A bit of video (don't worry John, the camping stove was not connected up)....

Happy Birthday Fergus

Some quality cake time with his hero...

Hole in Five

Thomas is thrilled to have his certificate for the golf club, which means he can go out by himself.

Here is a video I took of him completing one of the holes...

Forgot to mention, Thomas is 9 now

Very, very late with this...but here is a photo from Thomas's birthday party. We went to LazerQuest and then back to our house for general chaos. This photo sort of sums up the tone of the event, which was fun for them, hard work for us (hence this is about the only photo of the day we have).

Thomas on Telly

Earlier this month there was a film crew at Thomas's school for a show called 'Prime Time'. It is a BBC Scotland programme, and should be broadcast in August.

They have been learning about disabilities recently, including a visit from a real live actual disabled person. A few kids were interviewed about the whole thing and the teacher kindly videoed it for us...
