Cade and Braeden's other favourite pastime was using the trampoline at the villa:

Last few days in Tenerife
The sun shone gloriously on Wednesday morning so we decided that it would be a good time to take the team photo in the t-shirts Kelly and Craig had got made for us:
We went down to Fanabe beach and had some lunch - Ross was complaining that the sun was burning his hair parting so I loaned him my hat:
Craig and Cade were first in the sea and the others looked on:
Hot and thirsty work the beach, so we had to have ice creams afterwards:
In the evening, Jo and I went out for dinner - we had huge G & T's (Bombay Sapphire of course) at Hotel Jardin Tropical, where I had stayed on my recent golf trip, then walked up the hill to El Molino Blanco for dinner:
Thursday was beautiful as well so we headed back to Fanabe beach. It was pretty hot so Jo and I decided to take a stroll along the rocks:
Gary and Ross decided to have a game of table tennis when we got back to the villa:
Scott and Craig fired up a cracking BBQ:
whilst Cade and Braeden reverted to their favourite pastime:
Earlier in the week, Lucy and Cade had fun from pool to hot tub:

Tenerife update
What have we done since we went to Santa Cruz on Saturday? Well, on Sunday, we celebrated Scott's 36th birthday - Lucy and Scott went out for the day and walked between Fanabe and La Caleta and had lunch whilst the rest of us hung around the villa and some of us shopped. Scott got to work on the barbeque in the evening and we brought out his cake:
The hot tub was busy after dinner:
On Monday we went to Los Gigantes and went out to see the dolphins (too late for the whales). This was me on the way back:
On Tuesday, Scott, Craig, Ross and I went to play the little par 3 course at Los Palos whilst the others went to the Jungle Park:
Today (Wednesday) has started well and we could be on our way to either the beach or a water park.

Tenerife 1
The journey over was easy enough - although Gary was still deeply stressed at take-off and landing - particularly when we bounced a couple of times on the tarmac at Tenerife. Here he is in one of the more relaxed moments in flight:
Kelly and Craig met us at the airport and we picked up our hire cars and drove to the villa, which is magnificent. The keg of draft Beck's by the pool was soon getting big licks.
Dinner was really a late lunch on Friday - pizzas and wine. Saturday was a little drizzly and so we decided it might be a good idea to take the drive up north to the capital Santa Cruz. We eventually found a car park, which turned out to be the football stadium's main parking. We then strolled down the hill towards the Ramblas pedestrianised shopping district. This was us at the top of the hill in front of the town hall:
We had lunch at a pavement cafe and then walked further down the street towards the port. Here's a nice one of Gary, Carole and Luca:
Dinner was barbeque, courtesy of Scott - excellent it was too. We had thought that our TV had Setanta but that proved to be false and so a swift decision was made to drive down to Las Americas and find a bar that had the Scotland match on - although why we bothered, I'm still not sure.

Today (Sunday) is Scott's 36th birthday, so he and Lucy have gone off for lunch - I'm picking them up in a few hours. The rest of us are just chilling today.
