Going Backwards

Well we are actually back from our trip to New England but I want to post each day separately and even after 4 years of blogging I still have no idea how to post date blog posts so bare with me as I play catch up.

Friday morning we woke up and met the worlds bestest Aunties, Fran and Shell for a spot of Shoppy before heading out to lunch at our favourite Chinese restaurant in town, Kowloons. One of the employees was loitering close by and we mistook him for a server and asked him for a drink, after a few minutes he plucked up courage and asked about the girls, He was a middle aged Chinese man and after quite a long conversation he pulled out his wallet and showed us a photo of his daughter, Ashley, age 10, also adopted from China. Such a great story and a really nice man.

The girls love their Aunties and just delight in spending every single second with them. Following lunch we headed to Salem Willows for more fun. Sadly because this trip was so short we had to say our good byes much to soon and head on to our next adventure. Time with you both is never ever enough and to think that you just might be headed our way is to much excitement to 2 little girls and their parents to take so you better not be telling tales.

Thank you so much for the wonderful time and for all the lovely things. Rosie is wearing her necklace like some sort of trophy and keeps saying, I can't beweeve Auntie Fwan gave me all deese fings.

The best Aunties! This picture just makes me smile

Salem Willows has an old fashioned type of carnival place and a Chuckeecheese sort of thing etc etc. There is nothing at all wrong with my camera it is just that these rides are the old kind and go really freaking fast! I am talking make you want to puke kind of fast. The kids loved them! WE were laughing so hard cos you barely focus on them as they whizzed by at warped speed.

Finally one that was slower!


Friday evening we headed to Rob and Glorias for a BBQ with some other friends, Eddie, Pam and their twin boys Jake and Spencer. Good times. Oh the girls were so happy to see Live and Dommy, so so happy. It is almost nauseating to see the affect those teens have had on Lily. LOL Great people, great food and fabulous weather, does life get any better?

Rosie and I

Eddie, Looking very serious.
Pam and Gloria, right the world, we did alot of that.

Silly goose, Rob. Jacob asked him to smile and then said he didn't like so to try again. This is what he produced.

Somewhere, somehow we ended up having arm wrestling contests. It's a teenage boy thing.

Here are the twins, Jake and Spencer. Dear Heaven are these boys cute or what? And so sweet. Don't think they would like me saying it to the whole world though, not good for their image at this age.

Shhh, don't tell a soul but Livie took him out, fair and square!


That pretty much ended that day and we drove 2 very happy and tired, little ones back to our hotel. The wrong hotel but that will be explained in a post shortly.
