We went to Ormidale House in Argyll for a week last month. The kids had a great time there, as you can see form the photos.
There were some teething problems with the place we stayed in, but the kids were totally oblivious to all that and had fun with their Uncles and Aunties. Michael played so much FIFA on the xbox that he now recognises many teams flags. He also completed Kung Fu Panda on the xbox, which he would have played all day if we had let him. Thankfully, he could be persuaded to get involved in more interactive and healthy pursuits.
Emma was obsessed the first night with sleeping in the top bunk. Foolishly we relented, and Sarah and I didn't get much sleep on the first night worrying about her falling out. Thankfully she was happy to top and tail it with Michael in the bottom bunk on the nights after that, and I hid the ladder so she couldn't get up.

Emma looks like she's about to burst into a scottish folk song. Lovely all pink outfit.
Bouncy Castle!
