nine kids and two dogs

we woke up to really crap rainy windy weather this morning - so naturally we planned a trip to the beach...but karen had the better idea of going to fyvie castle for a walk. by the time we got there the weather was much better and it was lovely and autumnal. we saw some red squirrels and the kids ran wild with the dogs.

it's been ace having louis and eve to stay - it's pretty full on with five kids (especially when three of them are ill) but they all have such a laugh together.
