Switzerland - part 1

A coven of cousins!

B squared get scary.

The competitive spirit was alive and well.

The Kackie boys leave the Ellis boys eating dust.

Oh so green.

Camp fire and damper in the forest, woo!

Bastie is transfixed with firestarting whilst Flynn strikes a pose.

Max was a little unsure of all the big trees to start with.

Bonding.

Still a little worried but safe in the buggy.

Damper!

Bush safety.

Fun in the garden.

The town center decked out for National Day

More funny faces.

Moo!

We were all very excited to head of to Switzerland at the end of July to see the Kackies. We were there for 2 weeks and Blake took the whole time off work which was great. I was a little daunted at imposing a mass Ellis invasion but the Kackies took it in their stride and were fabulous hosts. It was such a treat for me to have someone else cooking every night.

More summer hols.

Turning 5 months means.....solids!

Maxi was a little unsure at first but was up to champion eater status within a few days.

3 days later (at the exact age Daisy got hers) out pops a tooth!

 Indoor play area fun.

Selfies at another play area.

Lovely cuddly boys, ahhhhh.

Recreating E.T on a hot day indoors.

The holiday fun continues.....

Jumeirah Beach Hotel

The views from our rooms, looking one way, then the other. Wow.

I got up the first morning to find an early game of Uno already in progress.

We had a lot of fun at Wild Wadi.

Dinner at Beachcombers.

All zonked out.

To break up the hols we had a two night break at JBH. It's a great hotel and we had a brilliant time.

Some of the summer hols.

We started the hols with breakfast at The Address.

Julia came to visit.

We saw the Imagination Movers. The kids loved it. I had fun too.

All that fun wore the smallest boys out.

Oh my god! Cuter by the day!

We hit the malls to beat the heat. The boys kicked back and made themselves at home in Pottery Barn.

We visited Andy in his new office within the blue Global Village globe. It was weird. And made me feel a bit sick.

Did I mention cute?

We got the start of hols illnesses out the way quick. Daisy tends to Bastie who has a fever.

Brunch with friends.

We visited some doggies who were home alone.

The pool is always a winner in summer.

We were so excited when the summer hols finally arrived. It was time to kick back, chill out and spend a lot of time in our pyjamas. We occasionally managed to get out the house too.
