Breakfast time fun

It might be a Saturday, but it's still a work day and Dirk has a job to do at one of the neighbouring farms that will take pretty much all day.  However, as he says, how many jobs to you do where you get to spend some of the morning with your boy.  He's got a great laugh on him these days which often culminates in a scream of delight, especially if being tickled. 

We have a great routine, I feed myself and the boy whilst Dirk feeds the cattle, then he comes in for coffee and breakfast. By that time I'm often ready for a coffee and if not, then I'm certainly ready for Dirk to have the boy for a few minutes.  It's a pretty good way to set up the day before we go our separate ways again by 8.30. 

The boy and I normally then head off for a walk, unless it's a town day.  I have great ideas about getting up super early and going for a walk on those days, it never happens.  Consoling myself that once upon a time I thought nothing of a 5.30am start for horse riding or running doesn't really cut the mustard, I see that time often enough, but it's the getting out of bed bit that is difficult.  

We're off out this evening camping for the night, which will be great fun.  Or at least I hope it is given that the boy has never slept the night outside before.
