Family visiting

 We've had family visiting from London, Sydney and New Zealand for the past week and a half

We've done the usual tourist things like terrorising the local wildlife, bbq's, catching up over coffees, dinners out, swimming, it's been fantastic!

 Cousins have been introduced for the first time

 We went out most days making every second together count

 Hanging with family

 There's been some crazy noisey times

like so many kids in the pool

and like dinner celebrating Ma and Pa Bartles 50th Wedding Anniversary

 And now it's mostly over I'm sad, sad that we don't get to hang out like this that often, 

sad that these cousins haven't meet sooner, 

sad that work keeps us apart

sad that I wont hear this cheeky little monkey say my name for years

but also happy, so happy, fueled up on family time and laughs
