It was a fun, mad, busy, exhausting, impressive but truly WONDERFUL 12 days.

 We started off with a trip to the Airport to pick up TEAMG who headed straight to Manly for a few days...  a couple of days later we went down to see them and to hear what Remy had to tell us... 

Remy is going to have a baby sister next April!   Yippee!   We are all so very thrilled  :-)


 Next was the arrival of James William (aka J-Willy)  with his two mummies.

 Making milkshakes with Molly the Cow.

 Lots of meals outside on the Veranda.

 A little Computer fun.

 Lots and lots of swimming... and cricket but no photos this time.

Lots of Christmas!

This is the first Scavenger Hunt organized by Abi... truly brilliant she is!

 Lots and lots of ball bouncing.



 Group Family Photos!  Always tricky but we have several goodies!

 Trying to get all 7 Grandchildren together for a photo... we did eventually.

 Here's Abi describing the Christmas Day Scavenger Hunt.   My team of David, Emily and Tilly won, although I have to admit that David and I got lost somewhere along the way... it was really Emily and Tilly who did all our team's work.

 Some presents.

 Tom's friend Joao from Portugal spent the night and day with us but that evening he had to go back to his boat and sail to Hobart on Boxing Day... he was on Clipper Ventures 5... he finished the race but I don't know where.

 The 'Man of Steel' was very keen to keep his eye on those in the pool

 There was one night spent at the Cricket.

 One little boy sitting next to his cousin and falling asleep.

 Some decorated Gingerbread figures... then ate them!

 What the????  Don't worry this is normal, most rooms looked like this one  :-)

 One day was spent at Luna Park!  Just for fun  :-)

 A couple of hours at the Bus Museum was a real treat.

 Tilly made lots of Ice Cream in her new machine.

 Then... on our last night together...  Nerys organized the kids in their 'McKids' Kitchen!

Fabulous menu and we all enjoyed every bit of it.  The Service was excellent, the waiters getting our orders did very well, our drinks never ran out courtesy of the Drink Waiters and our food was served on our laps!  Wonderful Stuff!  

If you ever get the chance,  you must drop into your nearest  'McKids' Kitchen!

 Emma is just loving her burger.

 Uh Oh!   look what I found in the freezer the day after.....  David says it wasn't him, Gwilym says it wasn't him... Tom doesn't think it was him... who could it have been?? 

 The first to leave and head down to Kate's parents down Shoalhaven way were....  Kate, James William and Briony!

 Next to leave were Remy, Emily and Gwil who were also heading down South for some beach time.

 Then Nerys, Tim, Jack and Charlie headed home...  and last to leave for home were TEAMG!  Thanks for coming all that way, this was really the best 12 days ever!  :-)
