We were very lucky to have Suzie, Scott, George and Henry stay with us for a week during their summer holidays. It was fantastic to see them and to spend some quality time with my bestest bud. It was also great to hang out with the boys, Bean and Boo, all of which got up to lots of fun and mischief with Peter.

Sophie also enjoyed lots of cuddles, especially from Suzie who seemed determined to steal her away by the end of her trip lol! We all enjoyed going to East links farm, going to the museum and getting drenched, a trip to the seaside for a paddle in the sea, picnics and parks and hunting for a bargain in the charity shops. Oh and some very funny evenings playing card games!

Another great mini break in Northern Ireland with Ben’s family. Sophie was very well-behaved for her first trip to Grandma and Grandpa’s house and Peter had a blast being spoiled by Carol & Michael and hanging out with Eve & Daniel. We even managed a paddle in the sea.

We all enjoyed a sunny walk at Mount Stewart gardens where the kids explored all the new sculptures dotted around the forests. Am going to stop talking as I think the photos showed how much fun we had 🙂

We’ve just enjoyed a fantastic week with Jake, Julie, Eve and Daniel. Peter has had an amazing time playing with his cousins, staying up late, playing chase, showing Daniel all his trains and being like two peas in a pod with Eve.

We had some great days, sharing Eve’s birthday and eating lots of cake! Playing in Vogrie park where we crashed our kite, had a picnic and played on the slide.

Fun at the farm park where we had a ride on the train, saw tartan sheep, jumped on trampolines and played in giant haystacks.

Twirling around the garden pretending to be princesses and trains, chasing balloons & bubbles,

Going swimming and splashing around in the paddling pool on hot days. Drawing chalk patterns over their legs, watching Disney’s Frozen a hundred times.Thanks very much to Jake and Julie for using up their holiday time to hang out with us. It was great fun seeing you all and awesome for all the cousins to hang out.
