Lounging

Here's Scott relaxing with a bread roll outside our villa. As he's in the shade, he's allowed to be without his X-Files style anti-UV clothing (but note pool shoes to avoid slipping).

The Beach Boys

Scott and Daddy share a male bonding moment at the beach in Carvoeiro. This was more or less the only time Scott went into the sea on the whole holiday, so it's just as well we immortalised it on film.

Get a tan? I'll be lucky

Scott was much happier just playing on the sand, digging holes etc. (wearing the aforementioned anti-UV clothing), which suited Mum 'cos the sea was freezing!

Top Gear

The high point of Scott's holiday - the car at the "Zoomarine" aquarium/theme park. We managed to get him out of it long enough to have a nice swim and see some performing dolphins (though he was more interested in the ants crawling along the bench).

Pool Party

Even though the pool at the villa was almost as freezing as the sea, Scott spent many happy hours in it, probably because it didn't have any of those nasty rough waves (except those created by Dad jumping in).
