Beautiful morning at Shaugh Prior

We had such a lovely morning by the river at Shaugh Prior today. The children absolutely loved negotiating the rocky terrain down towards the river where we found a lovely shallow alcove that enabled them to paddle and throw stones.

As well as throwing stones and sticks into the river (much to the delight of the dog!) the children practised their climbing skills on the numerous rocks and sloping banks as well as experimenting with balance by trying to keep sticks on their sides.

After a high energy morning we enjoyed a lovely picnic before coming home with two very grubby tired children and one wet dog - how all good mornings end!
