Some pics from last weekend

We had visits last weekend from lots of relatives - Uncle Ben, auntie Emily, cousin Bluet and cousin Ilona, gran Helen and uncle Nick. It was a lovely few days, and all the kids enjoyed spending lots of tone together. Here are a few pictorial highlights... 

The first morning - della woke to find Bluet in her bed! They woke up and chatted or played every morning. 

Mmm banana!

This was after lunch on day 1

'12th century church you say? Meh...'

Hello uncle Nick!

The Shetland ponies at allerthorpe lake were well fed with handfuls of clover after this visit.

'You need to put it into neutral first...'

'And maybe take the handbrake off too?'

We had a very good day in Bridlington which included staring out over the harbour before catching a ride on a pirate ship... 

Then sitting waiting for chips to arrive.

Then burning off the chips by climbing around.

Back at home the toy kitchen proved popular with everyone including gran Helen.

On our way to watch the Yorkshire Marathon, Della showed everyone her school. 

Then we watched several thousand runners many in funny costumes, run past us. It was mile 3 and many looked like they might not make it all the way round. 

Gus received some very nice birthday presents.

Emily and Gran Helen took half of the kids to see Clifford's tower.

While the other half played at home.

When they'd returned, we took some more photos then had lunch. 

There was lots of drawing and writing.

And scary monsters.
