Kew Gardens with Nana and Grandad

We have been very lucky and had some amazing weather the last week of Nana and Grandads visit - we spent a day at Kew Gardens, this is N&G in front of Kew Palace

More Nana and Grandad Pics

Nana and Grandad have been here for 3 weeks over our summer holidays, we have been very busy and done lots of sight seeing, caught up lots with all the family, been to the lakes district, taken in a couple of palaces and generally had an awesome time.

Lakes District with Nana and Grandad

Aunty Amy has asked that we put a few photos on here to show our holiday with Nana and Grandad. We had a week in the lakes district, took a couple of walks, a boat ride and lots of sightseeing, but to get the holiday started and to make sure we all had our priorities right our first adventure was to find a pub to watch the All Blacks v South Africa, Uncle Sean was looking after Nora before kick off but he wasn't so calm when the final whistle blew, what a brilliant start to the holiday.....

The start of our holiday also marked Nana and Grandads 39th wedding anniversary

Congratulations Nana and Grandad x

Hello Kitty :) An unplanned clash of wardrobes.... Liam was feeling a little left out

The "grown ups" had a "come dine with me....... masterchef" experience, this is main course on the second night, actually it was the winning dish and the winning team - Nana, Fleur, Seamus and Solfrid.

Liam found the double chocolate biscuits when he thought no one was looking but little did he know mum had her camera out trying to get a pic of his gorgeous bottom ;-)

A few experts teaching us how to skim stones. Zara reckons she got 8.... she is dreaming, it is not as easy as it looks!

A trip to Lakeside which is at the bottom of Lake Windermere - not much to do there except eat.....
