City Cousins Come to Visit

Last Weekend we were blessed to have PC’s brother, wife and children visit for four days:)
We were very excited as they have never stayed with us before.

Every day the children played from dawn till well after dusk. Country cousins introduced their city cousin to the delights of mud cuisine and making homemade lemonade with homegrown lemons and copious amounts of sugar.

Many an hour was spent playing in the tree house down in the bush. (This impressive construction was made by Michelangelo and Uncle Dominic) Note cousin S. standing next to Jem, he is a couple of months younger but a whole head taller.

On the last night we lit a small bonfire, mostly feed by a yard clean up.

It was very warm and toasty.

PC was ‘inspired’ by his brother to begin work on the house again. They worked on finishing the piers between the two houses.

Einstein pitched in to help his Dad and Uncle.

Having fun whilst working.

Piers are now finished, one step closer to joining the two houses together.

In order to build the piers Michelangelo and Uncle Paul moved my clothesline. It is now a good 50metre walk from the laundry. I push the washing over in the wheelbarrow.

Monday our family headed back to the City:( and we headed off to our annual local homeschool Athletics Carnival.

Where the children enjoyed track events

novelty events

and field events.

74 children homeschool children gathered together from 200 kilometers around, to enjoy a wonderful day.

A fantastic weekend, we are looking forward to family visiting again:):)
