Today we had an amazing day; we went quad biking! We started off with me on with Dad and Euan with Mum as you had to have a driving licence to drive one. It took a while to get used to it as it was extremely bumpy and fast but when we got it it was fab! Me and Dad got stuck in the snow (we were up a mountain) and the lady had to rescue us! We then stopped off for a break and we could take pictures and have a wee (see picture below!). We then swapped over so I was on with Mum and Euan was on with Dad. We all got stuck again and then me and mum were going so fast over the bumps that we were coming out of our seats! We went through a massive puddle and it all splashed in my face but luckily I had a helmet to stop me getting too dirty. It was a shame when it came to an end but we had a great time and we will never forget it! Here are a few pictures:
It was a bit cold in certain places like where the helmet missed but it was incredible because at first mum kept on stopping and starting and stopping and starting. Once she got the hang of it we were a little bit behind so we had to go really, really fast. Once we were done there we had a hot chocolate and it was really nice because it was quite cold so we warmed up really quickly.
We then had our lunch and went to a beach where Mum taught me how to skim. My reccord was 3 which was good for me! There was also a really pretty little church which we couldn't go in as it was locked but was in a stunning place.
I skimmed 5 bounces with a stone on the water by the church. Dad did 12 bounces.
We then went for a little walk where we were trying to throw stones into the lake over a hill. Not many were going in and then we realised that the lake was not where we were throwing the stones!!!
Another fantastic day. Lots of pictures to make up for yesterday love Neve and Euan xxxx
I loved it too. A great, unusual kind of day. Lots of love Euan and Neve :)xxxx
Wow that looked like the real deal! Those quad bikes were a bit bigger than the ones that B & J went on at Center parcs - the terrain
ReplyDeletelooked a bit different too! Sounds like you all had a great time - going somewhere cold certainly has it's advantages! Well done with your skimming too - I wonder how many I could manage? And more to the point, could I manage a quad bike?!! What an action packed day - I just made an apple pie and a trifle - mind you they look good and going to scatter some small eggs on top (Easter, not real eggs!). I don't suppose you missed your Easter Egg Hunt at all today! Great photos - they look like they should be in an exhibition or in a brochure advertising the delights of Iceland!
Have a good day tomorrow. We shall be over at Uncle Richard's so may not be back in time to comment but will do so on Tuesday morning.
HAPPY EASTER TO YOU ALL - with lots of love N & G xxxx
