Day 171: Making the best of what should have been a four hour journey ending up taking over six and a half hours by playing I-Spy and singing Frozen songs at the top of our voices.

Day 172: Hunting for shells on Crooklets Beach #happyfamilysummer #summerbucketlistchallenge

Day 173: The sun coming out for long enough for us to join in the Lifeboat Day festivities in Bude and have a lovely walk too

Day 174: A visit to Tintagel. Exploring Merlin’s Cave, skipping stones into the sea, the smell of the ocean, the spectacular views and pride at my girls for climbing all the way to the top to see the castle ruins. #happyfamilysummer #summerbucketlistchallenge

Day 175: Five minutes on my own to wander around my most favourite shop, which is full of trinkets and treasure and beautiful things

Day 176: Date night with my husband! Our first night out together (minus children) since December last year! #happyfamilysummer #summerbucketlistchallenge

Day 177: Girlie time – manicures and pedicures all round 🙂 #happyfamilysummer #summerbucketlistchallenge

Day 178: A family selfie on our last morning in Cornwall – the only photo of all 5 of us together. Lots of giggles trying to get this shot to work!

Day 179: My Lola with her best friend Dolores – they love each other so much and were delighted to be reunited after a few weeks of being apart 🙂

Day 180: Popped to the shops for last minute school supplies and got coerced into visiting the pet shop too. The joy on their faces as they watched the gerbils playing was wonderful.
