Family Time

Yesterday for the long weekend we headed out to Westbury to spend time with family. The reason for gathering?.... My brother Jason and his wife Kaisa were in Tassie for a visit, and because we don't see them that often it was a good excuse to all get together :) 
It felt a little odd this time as Jakob and his cousins Josh and Allister are all out on their missions, but the cousins still seemed to enjoy hanging out.....

At one stage I think it was - "how many cousins can use the trampoline at the same time?"

Two twelve year old cousins - one dark, one fair...

Poppy just sitting in a shady place watching all his grand kids.

Katie sampling her dads home made raspberry ice cream.

Oliver and Jonty really seem to have this thing about hanging out with Nathan... and Nathan seems to enjoy it too

Kaisa and Jason

My sister Penny wasn't able to join us as she lives in the USA with her husband and six kids, but thankfully for modern technology she was able to join us through Skype.

Mum celebrated her birthday a few days before our get together, so of course we had to have candle blowing

One of the good things about going to Westbury is there is so much space for the kids to run. Katie and Lilly especially love it when the quad bike is brought out.

even Flynn wanted to get in on the action... but I think the helmet may have been bigger than him :)

 

Lilly loving that she can drive the bike all by herself
