Fun

Having talked about all the things that the girls have wanted to do with Hollis and her girls once we got to England, today they were finally able to cross some of them off of the list.

Unfortunately I was the one who slept until very last today so we were rather late getting going but once we picked up momentum there was no stopping us.

First we went to Emberton Park and had a picnic and then the girls played and played.

After all the fun and games at the park we came to Grandpa's house for a BBQ and just to be sure the kids had fun crazy Auntie Sally came over with a bag full of tricks, literally. After we had all eaten dinner my fantastic sister took over as the entertainer and played all sorts of games with the girls including building a human pyramid. Nuts I tell ya but after all she did earn the monicker "Crazy Auntie Sally" for a reason.

Looky, Grandma Grace here in England. It's so wonderful. Hollis dodged the camera cos she is standing behind me taking her own photos
The kiddies

After the little ones were all tucked into bed and fat asleep the grown ups started their own fun.

My family takes partying very seriously as you might be able to tell by the outrageous amount of bottles of Scotch on the table

While we were all outside having a great time somebody moved into the kitchen and made himself at home. He was so sweet. Daddy scooped him up and took him back outside where he scurried off into the flowerbed.
