Paddleboards, Fish, and Feathered Friends

We had an incredible adventure at Iford River today! 🌞🌊 From the moment we arrived, the excitement was non-stop. We loved spotting schools of fish gliding through the water and eagerly tried to catch a few with our nets—they were fast, but that just made it more fun! 🐟🎣

E and H made a great team and finally managed to catch a few, which we placed in a bucket for a closer look. Meanwhile, S was in his element discovering fascinating rocks and making a splash! 💦🪨

One of the highlights of the day was paddleboarding—H took E out first, and she absolutely loved it, beaming the entire ride. Then it was S’s turn, and he was so brave, sitting calmly and soaking it all in. Each time he returned, he brought back a new rock for his growing collection, which we later laid out to dry and examine together. 🏄‍♂️✨

During snack time, we had some unexpected (but very welcome!) visitors—ducks and swans came right up to say hello. 🦆🦢 E and S were thrilled watching them up close—don’t worry, all fingers stayed safe! 😄

To finish the day, we headed to the park where we swiped through photos, played games, and reflected on all the fun we had. 📸🎉 A truly fantastic day full of exploration, teamwork, and laughter!
