Nana & Jimbob arrive

Grandparents, Nana & Jimbob, arrived from New Zealand in early September.  It had been awhile since they were here so we were very happy to see them.  The kids were super excited.  These photos are from the first 2 weeks of their visit.  We just had normal time at home with our regular schedules.  The next post will be the following 2 weeks where we went on holiday to France and Germany.

Campbell and Archie took the grandparents out to see Brugge in Belgium.  They had good weather and enjoyed the sights and beer.

We went for a play in the central park and then biked over to a new cupcake shop.  The kids are into blue food of any sort.  So they had the blue frosted ones. 

We had a playdate at the community farm near our house.  Sylvie had a great time petting the goats and climbing on the playground.   She has become very interested in petting animals and wants to chase them to see them.  Luckily the goats were good with petting.

Tea, coffee, and snacks for all of us.

While they were here, we took many bike rides.  We went through the forest near our house and stopped to have a play.  The kids love the biking and we enjoy getting outside when the weather is pleasant.  There are so many biking paths that go throught the beautiful countryside.

We went to a nearby park with our friend Daisy and her Mom.  They brought Maggie the dog.  The kids and Jim had a great time throwing sticks to her.  Archie and Sylvie love Maggie and Daisy.  They talk about her a lot.  So now the debate starts for when we will get a dog!
