Summer holidays - Portugal

We drove all the way to Porto for a month's holiday - mamã and papá had taken one month parental leave. We do loads of things including spent 3 weeks in our house in Obidos and had visitors every day except 2 - it was GREAT. I love having visitors and people to talk and play with.
We visited places, we went a number of times to the lagoon to play/swim in the water, as well in our own swimming pool. We had so many toys for the beach - paddling boat, badminton, balls, volleyball, mini-tennis, even a small body surf.
After the first weekend celebrating the yearly festival in Caviao we went to Obidos. On the Sunday 10th August we had all the family visiting +40 of us. We played 2 hours of football at the local pitch, swam, ate, walked into the town, ate again. It was so great to have everyone - THANK YOU.

Tia, Tio, R&R stayed on and we visited dinosaur museum in Lourinha, went bowling, swam in the pool, lunch in Peniche and visit the craft market, went to the beach and one of our favourite beaches near Peniche called Baleal. Toze', C, B&K joined us too and we visted the Belengas islands. What a rough sea, waves 3 metres high so I was a little sick going. At the island and joined m&p and Toze' and we walked up and down to the Fort, then we went on a little boat ride with the others. The return journey was better sitting on the very front of the boat and the owners even went back to rescue papá's hat when it went flying in the wind. We played boule in the woods and played for hours in the water.
