Day Trip Up North

On Saturday we decided to take a road trip up north to visit Nanny King and Grandmama Challis. It was also Olivia's 1st birthday so it was nice to be there to help her celebrate! 

All 3 girls were great and enjoyed the drive up. Chiara slept most of the way and Leilani and Emily mainly listened to music on the ipods with their headphones so it was quite peaceful! 

Our first stop was Nanny Kings's house. She spoilt us with a yummy lunch that included Banana Caramel Pie for dessert! 


We then headed off to Grandmama's house and she loaded us up with fresh radishes, spinach and snow peas - straight out of her garden! The kids had fun looking at all the photos and finding Daddy's baby picture! 

Our next and final stop was Matt & Kristy's house in the Tamar Valley. It's beautiful up there and even though it started raining as we arrived it was lovely to be out in the country. 

Leilani & Emily said when they get a bit older they are going to come up and go for a ride on one of Kristy's horses! They seemed quite keen - much to my surprise! 

Olivia is such a little cutie - she has been walking for a couple of months now and is so clever! She loved playing with her Uncle Mick and couldn't stay away from him! Gus had a great time playing with Lani and Emily and when it was birthday cake time he stepped up as the 'big brother' and helped Olivia blow out her candle! 






We headed back home late in the afternoon so we were feeling quite exhausted by the time we got home, but it was nice to get away for the day.
