Saturday 2nd September

The girls went riding, am, and then we spent the afternoon splashing about by the pool at Cristian Sur until it was time for Hop to drag us off to watch him play football. A baking hot ground in Cabo Blanco, with virtually no shade save right at the far end well away from the pitch.
Afterwards the kids demanded a Mcdonalds, so I was forced to relent my ban for the Mook. (I suppose one in a year won't hurt) The kids went crazy for about and hour and a half afterwards, playing in the fun house thingy, screaming at the top of their voices. The Mook looked like a wild thing (see photo!) and they all had a great deal of fun.
The kid continued with their riot back at ours, and Emma just about drove me up the wall with constant mithering about the waterpark tomorrow. Much deviousnous afoot, and she tried to make out her dad had already agreed to it, which wasn't true, cue mini sulk and tantrum. Oh! the joys of being a step-mum to a pre-teen drama queen!
