School Holidays = Hanging Out With Cousins

School holidays meant that we got to spend a lot of time with Auntie Jenny and Oscar which was great! The first outing was to see our cousins/the kids' 2nd cousins by visiting Mel, Kaysey and Tristan. We squished the kiddies into the back seat of the car and headed off to their place. 

After a play at their place we headed around to a park and the kiddies had great fun playing together and on the equipment.

We then headed back to Mel's place to have some lunch and more of a play. The kids had a great time in the backyard, especially playing in the rabbit cage. Random place to enjoy, but they all did!

It was lovely to catch up with them! I am looking forward to our Gower family time away in a couple of weeks to catch up with them again as well as the other family members.


The next adventure was off to the zoo, thanks to our wonderful Grayma who kindly bought our tickets. As soon as we entered they boys were off and running.
The kids enjoyed seeing the different animals, although they weren't very cooperative with photos. The also enjoyed playing on the pretend animals.

 From the moment we went into the zoo, Daniel was excited about the gondola. Each time we saw it, he asked if we could go on it. Once we made it to the bottom of the zoo, Oscar and Daniel were very excited that it was gondola time. So much so, they made up a song "It's gondola time, it's gondola time, it's gondola time".

 The gondola didn't disappoint either.

Great fun hanging out with my sister and Oscar. Looking forward to more hang outs in the holidays.
