Cheddar Gorge
Our holiday was our last chance to hang out with Caiden and Freya as they have now flown back to Sydney. We will miss them so much but we had a great time on our holiday. We went to Cheddar which is where Caidens grandpa lives and visited the Cheddar caves.
Kristin
Kristin is a wee village in Somerset where Caidens mummy grew up. We visited the house she grew up in which was originally built in 1086 we can't even imagine how old that is. Next to the house is a wee church that she got married in so we visited that too.
Weston-Super-Mare
During half term we visited our friends Caiden and Freya in Weston-Super-Mare, dad said "what is that?" but W-S-M is a seaside town on the peninsula opposite Cardiff, lots of northerners holiday there and not too many Kiwis have been there.

Liam at one day off 8 weeks - all smiles
Bath time, its getting a bit of a squeeze, don't know how mum managed with 6 in her bath!!
Poor old Liam wrapped up in an obvious hand me down
Feeding time at Camborne Road, Zara, Josh, Maya, Katey, Caiden and Freya - fish fingers all round
A couple of shots of Zara colouring in, she is actually drawing on paper which is most unlike her
Tom foolery in the kitchen

The Park Tavern
On Saturday night we all went to the Park Tavern to have a farewell tea with the Cleary's - they are going back to Australia. It was Liam's first pub experience and he loved all the attention he got from the "patrons"
Zara and Freya were hard to keep under control they were totally up to mischief and the dads had to take turn being on "kid duty"

The day after
The day after the big snow the sun came out and everything looked a lot brighter. We still couldn't go to school because mums car was surrounded by a big pile of frozen snow so we went back to the park to hang out with our mates Caiden and Freya.
Two days on and its still frozen, we can't walk on the footpaths as they are solid ice so we have to walk in the middle of the road, mum has finally got her car out but there is still alot of snow around. And it is FREEZING COLD!!!

The Big London Snow
On Monday 2nd Feb 2009 London had the biggest snowfall it had seen in 20 years.... dad couldn't go to work because the trains, planes and automobiles weren't working, and he wasn't alone 6.4 million people couldn't get to work. We loved every minute of it!!
The night before the big snow.
And the morning after looking out the first floor window
Mum's pots...she had planted her bulbs 2 days earlier...... wonder if they will still flower
The snow stopped for 20 minutes in the morning so we went outside and made a snowman, Zara and I had "Cousin Bear" home from school for the weekend so we took lots of photos with him.
We put our watering cans on the step the day before to see how much snow we would get, we had to dig them out the next morning, they were completely buried!
In the afternoon we went for a walk to King George's Park with BJ & Solfrid. There were people making snowmen everywhere, and everyone was in a really good mood.
Whats a big snowday without a snowfight. Not sure who won because Uncle BJ hit Zara with a whopper of a snowball and it all ended in tears!!
Zara catching a ride on the front of Liam's pram
An abandoned shopping trolley, we had so much fun in it, who would of thought eh!
The long and treacherous walk home to Camborne Road
