Family weekend

On Friday we gathered for our annual family weekend, as we were only allowed on the premises after 15.00, DH took the boys to Snowworld for some summer skiing. I had to wrok, so they went with the four guys only, it looks like they had a great time to me and the kids loved it.

I had some difficulty getting there as the traffic was terrible, even though it is summer holiday, but I managed to get there after dinner...

 

The next day started with rain, but luckily it stooped soon enough and we had a very nice day, it was even warm in the afternoon.

 

My parents had their 46th wedding anniversary while we were there, so there was cake...

 

After dinner, the kids were allowed to make smores and they loved it. In the morning they had been making flares.

So son #1 couldnt wait to light one... He couldnt even wait until it was dark...

We had great fun around the campfire with what apping to family that wasnt present, yes, I know, modern day youth... But we spent some family time together.

And this morning we had to clean up before we left, so we also had to get the frisbee that was on the roof, as it was not ours. So DH suggested to just lift one of the boys on the roof. And they did it safe, as he was wearing a helmet...

 

A day in the life of...

The boys wanted to help in the kitchen, so we made this leak and ham quiche, which hubby loves.
And this little 'bugs'cakes. The boys helped out great, Nic didn´t want to go on after a while, but Peter stayed until everything went into the oven.

And for those who are wondering what Ruben looks like, see for yourselfs. He has grown quite a bit, so he isn´t the little baby anymore. OOOOH, they grow up so fast, I hear my mum say it. Sometimes I wonder what my grandparents would have thought of their great grandchildren. Only Nic has known my grand pa and grandma on father´s side, but I wonder if he will remember them later in life. We do have pictures of them together, so that is special.
