Weekend Away

Last weekend, my family along with three other families, went for a weekend away at Burgie House.

We all traveled down on the Friday night, arriving at the house in shock at the size of the building (think Downton Abbey) complete with numerous stuffed animal heads and birds!!

 After unpacking and exploring the house, all the little people decided to play a game of hide and seek(...the house was perfect place for that!) and the men went downstairs to the billiard room to play a game of snooker.

On Saturday, once all 20 of us were awake, we went for a stroll along Findhorn beach...queue artsy pictures

Later that morning we were joined by five seals that decided to go for a swim, here are two I managed to get a snap of before they disappeared beneath the surface.

That evening, one of the dads had prepared a quiz to entertain us all...my team were the quiz champions!

Sunday was another a chilled day at the beach before a traditional roast dinner in the dining hall, somehow all the teenagers had been pushed into being servants for that meal. After an hour chilling and packing; my dad, another dad and I had to say goodbye and return home as they had work on Monday and I had school, all the other little people had Monday and Tuesday off school so they all stayed an extra day with the mums.

I enjoyed the weekend away as it was an escape from the pressure of school and work. I can definitely see us returning there!
