Scotland, entering week 2

So we FINALLY got our camera working. Our battery was dead upon arrival and then we’ve been fussing with the SUPER CRAZY electricity here…blowing out all sorts of stuff since we don’t have the right converters. We even blew out a converter! AARRGGG. So our camera battery charger needs a voltage converter which we are waiting on to arrive in the mail. So my wonderful brother gave us an extra one they have but apparently I am inept and thought it was charging the battery when it wasn’t!!! So…once my wonderful husband got ahold of it, we had a charged battery and working camera. As they would say here, BRILLIANT!!!

Today was also a fantastic day for the camera to start working!!! We had a few adventures!

First up was meeting up with a local friend, Kelly, and her son Connor who is Jayden’s age, at the park. The boys had  a fantastic time playing…

Then while we were at the park, our neighbors walked by, who have a sweet little 2 year old daughter, and asked us if we wanted to take the train into Cupar, a nearby town, and go to an indoor play area. Jayden has been DYING to ride the train so we of course said yes. Big smiles ensued. jayden on train

We arrived in Cupar and commenced some serious playing…

They also had a super tasty, kid-friendly little cafe so we had lunch!!

All of this wore them out quite a bit!!night night Eli

Well I guess wore Eli out, cause Jayden continued to enjoy our train adventure.

“Look that train track!!”

And more smiles for train time…Jayden smiling

We made it home , relaxed and then picked up dinner for “The Scotland 9” (us, Sam, Andrea, and the kids). Sam and fam are moving tomorrow so they were knee deep in packing and asked us to bring dinner. We happily obliged!!!

 

After that, we came home and the boys promptly collapsed into bed…

And I started blogging… :)
