Ben and Madeline went shopping for a new connection for the gas tumble drier and John and Ben plumbed it in together with the washing machine so that Madeline could catch up with the laundry. Madeline made a spectacular strawberry cake and an earlyish night followed as Norah and her mummy and daddy had missed out on quite a bit of sleep!
A 7.40am call from Sadie and after the usual breakfast and outing preparations we set off to the Leo Carrillo Ranch Historic Park...
...which had once belonged to the actor Leo Carrillo famous for starring in the Cisco Kid on 1950s tv. His daughter lived there until 1978 and in 2003 the city of Carlsbad started to restore the buildings and opened it up to the public.
There are lots of lovely peacocks and it must have been a wonderful place to live in its heyday. Sorry you missed it Mel but here are some photos!
An early lunch followed at El Papagayo in Encinitas then Madeline, Norah, John and I went to Trader Joe's for goodies for fondue tonight- yummy! I then decided to print off the boarding passes for our flight home only to discover that we fly on Thursday, not tomorrow - what a lovely surprise, another day in sunny Carlsbad!! A lazy afternoon with a bit more sunbathing for me and gardening for John whilst the two lambs slept.
More fun with Sadie and Norah then time for their tea and bedtime routine.
