A trip to the farm

Our neighbours let us know a few weeks ago that they would be having a big birthday party on the weekend which was most likely going to be loud and since they know we have babies they wanted to warn us so that we could make arrangements or at least be prepared for babies who couldn't sleep.  We decided at short notice that we would go to the farm for the weekend to get away.  Mum and dad were happy to have us along and to spend time with the grand babies, and we were excited to get out of the city.  It was set to rain all weekend anyway so we decided we'd prefer to sit next to a cozy fire in the drizzly weather rather than at home.

Ella left early on friday afternoon with nanny and poppy and Tim, Lucas and I set off later that evening when Tim finished work.  It was pouring with rain the whole way up, a stark contrast to seeing the bush fires that raged through the area a few weeks ago on the news.  Despite the rain we still had a lovely relaxing weekend.  We didn't do a great deal at all other than eat and enjoy each other's company.  Just what the doctor ordered.

(Crossing the creek.  Poppy had to dive off the log to avoid falling in the creek a few seconds after he got Ella safely to the other side.  We all had a good laugh at his agility.)

Lucas' first try on solids!

Smores!
