Adventures with Squid - Sunshine in Scotland

Scotland is such a beautiful place in the summer time - it's also pretty damn good in the winter too. But nothing beats a simple picnic with a toddler in the warm sunshine.

Getting ready to set off - followed by the ever obedient Car the dog. Yes, his pull along dog is called Car...

We crossed bridges...

We ate homemade ginger cake and cheese sandwiches...

We paddled in the little stream...

We threw pinecones for the dog to fetch...

And we threw pinecones and rocks in the water...

We do an awful lot of TLW (that's Toddler Led Walking if you don't know). This involves letting Squid set the pace, the destination and the direction of the walk. When he is tired, we sit. When he is hungry, we eat. Sometimes we end up crouched under trees, or driving the buggy through puddles, or counting cars in the car park. It's slow (and sometimes boring for me, I won't lie!), but he really loves our little simple walks.
