Fun time with these 2 😀😀❤❤

We thought we would update our watering timer and have gone heavy duty this time 😀

Has 2 timers on and allows for 2 other hoses for manual watering etc

Neat 

And yes Teresa you were correct in knowing these 2 

Cooper like this sugar free icy

Looking forward to an overnight stay 

April chatted happily with us 

Coooer wondered if my Dracula was angry lol 

They always enjoy snacks and often say "I am really really hungry" 5mins later 🤣

Fun with books and drawing too 

Cooper had this find the elf book. We printed the page with the elves and their names so Granny could and recognize  find them too Cooper knows them all 😁😁

Sunday morning we took them on a walk down the hill to see the Pool Complex.....not open yet

It is huge to say the least......slides included 

April running to catch up 

They loved seeing it all Although pools hard to see with grassy hill and tinted windows 

Near the carpark

More of the car park 

Walking past and heading to nearby play park 

Very impressive 

They loved the new path all around 

Playground fun time 

Lots of climbing 

Sliding 

Balancing manoeuvres 

Swinging

Granpa did good pushing 

Now just look at this cheeky evil grin and Cooper looking like Uh Oh lol

Ray and Lauren wanted to see the power plant and I only took these 2 pics lol 

Anyway big towers a small part 

They went home and we discovered Netflix now has season 5 of Outlander so on we will go ❤❤

My Rosemary is flowering 

And the Chickens checked it out lol

Take care and may you be well

Vaccines are starting up here now for some

XOXOXO 

On to Edinburgh and Outander fun along the way

Woody ready for another day of travelling this time back to Edinburgh ☺☺

I had looked up a couple of places that were used in the making of "Outlander" and this church was part of the witch trial 

Some very old graves here 

And lucky for us, someone had unlocked the church so we were allowed to take a couple of pics 

The trial was filmed in here 

Plenty of pics here showing from the show 

We then drove along this narrow road to Drummond Castle 

The exterior wall 

The castle 

and another side pic, but we did not go inside 

Just a pic of the garden used in Series 2 as the garden of Versilles 

Leaving that castle under its bridge 

Off to this distillery which also was part of the series but down in the cellars 

A lovely river Teith flowing past 

And this is as far as I got, pic of a barrel

Anyway next stop was Doune Castle which in Outlander is Castle Leoch, the seat of Mackenzie Clan again did not go inside this one but loved seeing it for sure ♥

Then we traveled through Sterling and visited the Stirling Castle but only a few snaps as not enough time to do a proper tour around inside 

Looking down to a grave site 

Out the front area 

It is big and having renovations done too 

The entrance in......

But maybe we will be back for a good look ☺☺

Goodbye Stirling Castle 

Then onto another castle.....this one is called Blackness Castle and in the series same name 

This one was used as the base for  Black Jack who was a hideous sadistic Captain 

Paul enjoyed it here checking out all the dim dark places 

and stairs, yes stairs.....by now I had to avoid as the front of my thighs were agony when climbing back down lol 

I hung around in the courtyard 

Isn't amazing what was made all those centuries ago

It is a 15th century fortress 

Little spots to hide or be chained up 

Good old spiral staircase which Paul managed to trot up and down 

I ventured out onto the pier attached 

Really quite a large castle once poking around inside 

more spiral stairs 

Neat solid gate locked each night 

So end of this bit of fun and onto Edinburgh xoxoxo
