Peter and Peace go on holidays

Dear Readers,

Summer is coming to an end but before it is over I wanted to share with you some pictures of Peter and Peace enjoying a few days of holidays during the last week of August.

They have been working hard at their beach bar this summer in order to save money to buy a van. Both like travelling and it would be great to have their own means of transport.Unfortunately, they still have to make some more money to be able to afford it.
I was preparing my luggage to spend a few days at the coast with my family, when Peter and Peace sat down on one of my t-shirts and asked me if I could take them with me.
"Yes,of course! You deserve a break!"

As soon as I said "yes",they ran to get their tent and their backpack.
Once we arrived at our destination, Peter and Peace started to explore the area.
It was the first time they were "in the real world" and they were looking forward to living new adventures.
 

"Look at this, Peace! A mushroom as big as a table!"

"At least flowers are perfect for our size" 

Soon, they realized not all the flowers were "sylvanian size".Some were very big but very beautiful too.

Flower power!

They had fun exploring the holes of this rock that they called by the name of "The Gruyere Rock" Peace said he holes reminded her of a gruyere cheese.

Peter wanted to swine on a vine but it was a bit far and he couldn´t reach for it.

They were happy to find a lake where they enjoyed a relaxing raft boat ride.
They even considered to spend their first night in the tent of the raft but finally they changed their mind.

  
They set up their own tent on a grass field instead.The following morning, Peter woke up early.Peace, however, was still asleep so Peter tried not to wake her up when he came out of the tent to keep exploring the surroundings.
It was such a beautiful morning!

He still had in mind the big size of the mushroom they saw the day before, when he found two big strawberries while he was walking along a wooden path.
He tried to pick them up. He knew Peace would love to have some for breakfast but they were hard to pull and probably too heavy to carry them all the way back to their tent. 

As he couldn´t bring Peace strawberries he tried to pick up a flower for her but he couldn´t find any small flowers around so,at least, he managed to pick just one petal.

 

"Morning sleepyhead! I have a little gift for you!" 

Peace opened her eyes, she yawned and said. "Aww Peter! you´re so sweet! What a lovely flower!

I´m glad you like it, love!I nearly risked my life to pick it up. There are no small flower around,only huge ones!

Peter knew Peace needed her time to wake up properly so he started to prepare breakfast.

When breakfast was ready, he took his guitar and played Peace´s favourite song. He knew that would help her to get out of the tent.

"Morning,love!" I´m wide awake and ready to enjoy the day!".

"Me too, sweetheart, but first I need some breakfast and a kiss".Then we´ll continue our expedition".

After breakfast, Peace found something that caughted her attention.
She climbed on top a blue bag and got very excited.
"Peter! Cutata is going to the beach! I know it for sure! The bag says "Sun and Beach in spanish"
"I think you´re right,Peace.There are some straw beach mats in that bag too"

"I have an idea!" Peace was thrilled at the thought of spending some time at the beach "If we get into this pocket, she´ll take us with her." 

When I went to pick up the bag to carry the beach mats, the two of them waved to me with a big smile on their faces.
"Hi Cutata!, would you please take us to the beach. You know how much we like it"

I agreed but I warned them to keep away from the big waves. I didn´t want them to be dragged into the sea.
They promised not to be too intrepid this time.

Let´s go!

 Here we are!

"This is amazing! Don´t you think so Peace?"

"It is indeed, Peter."

"Look at the size of the waves! We promised Cutata we would keep away from them".Both were very impressed.

They felt like going for a swim but they knew they´d better be cautious or otherwise they wouldn´t be allowed to come with me again.

Instead of going swimming,they went for a walk. This time they avoided the seashore and followed a  path between the rocks.

On their way along the path, they met a crab that was slepping on its back.

They were very careful not to wake it up just in case it wasn´t very friendly!

The long path led them to a cave. Exploring the cave was an interesting activity but it was much better to be outdoors.

They tried rock climbing too.It was fun, especially, climbing down as it was quite easy for them.

Climbing up was a bit harder.Peace nearly suffered a bit of an accident.Luckily, Peter was behind her and prevented her from falling down.

Come on guys! You´re nearly there!

All their efforts to reach the top of the rock paid off! The sight was worth it and the sound of the waves was so relaxing that they lost track of time.

When they realized it must be time to go back home for lunch they climbed down the rock but they couldn´t help sitting down for another short while to look at the sea once again.

On the way back home they told me how much they had enjoyed.I promised I would take them with me another day.

The next morning, Peter and Peace got back into the pocket of the straw beach mats´ bag.

"I hope the sea is calmer today and we can get near the seashore" Peace told Peter who was thinking exactly the same as his girlfriend.

They were very lucky!Their wish came true! The sea was calm and flat!

It was a lovely sunny day to go for a walk along the beach.

Even though the water was a bit cold they were brave to go for a swim.

"Let´s lie down under the sun to get warm.Brr…!" 

"You´re my sunshine"

There is  no doubt this couple is very much in love.

"This is the life!"

After sunbathing, they were ready for new adventures.

"Let´s go canoeing"

After their canoe ride, they went rock climbing again.
"Be careful, Peace! Hold my hand!"

I followed them for a while and when they were on top of the rock ,I asked them to look at my camera.
"I´ll give you this picture as a keepsake of your holiday. Smile!"

After climbing hard rocks, it was nice to feel the soft sand under their feet. As they were walking on the sand they found these small orange flowers.They never expected to find flowers at the beach!

A cocktail before leaving the beach was the icing on the cake! 

"Are you having a good time,Peter?"
"I´m having the time of my life, love"
"Me too,I don´t want to leave"

Every single morning of our family holidays, Peter and Peace came to the beach with us.
We also took them for dinner a couple of evenings.Dining out in "the real world" was another great experience for them.
They were gobsmaked at the size of the food!
One of the evenings they came with us,I ordered a vegan burger (Sylvanians from Sweet Berry Valley don´t eat meat). Peter and Peace loved it!

If they were amazed at the size of the burger, they were speechless when they saw the size of these mussels.
"I wish the Neptunes could see these giant mussels!" Peace said."Just the shell is as big as ourselves!

And the same happened when the seafood pizza arrived at our table.
"Alonzo Macavity would love to see this huge pizza". Peter was sure about it.

The smell of the garlic mushrooms made them turned their heads. 
"One of these will be more than enough to feel our tummies"

Unfortunately, holidays don´t last forever and we all had to go back home.
As you have just seen, Peter and Peace enjoyed their summer break and so my family and I did.
I hope you had a great time on your holidays too and I also hope you have enjoyed today´s post. 
It was the first time I took pictures of my sylvanians outdoors and it was good fun. Some people were curious and even talked to me,some other people just smiled when they saw me posing Peter and Peace for the pictures.It´s impossible not to smile when you see these two cute rabbits:)Don´t you think so?

See you soon!

Hugs!
