My Cousin Issy!

On Tuesday last week I met my cousin Issy for the very first time since we were babies.

 

On our first day together we helped our Grandpa Rich out in the garden.

 Then we hit the playground.

 

That afternoon, Grandpa took us farming. Mum, (not a natural farmer), came too.

 

As well as Auntie Jecky, and Issy of course!

 

 

 With Sylvie Dot in the front pack....

 ... we headed off to find the sheep.

 Sylvie was quite amazed.

 Then we all jumped on a four wheeler motorbike.

 By this stage, Sylvie had started to tire of farming.

 We however, were ready for smoko....

 ... and some more cuddles.

 Time to get back to work!

We climbed some gates...

 

... and posed in front of this old red barn. 

 Then things got really exciting.

We said goodbye to Grandpa, and headed home to Masterton. 

Our Granny Di took us to the park to see the birdies...

And then we joined in the street parade to welcome the Georgian World Cup Rugby Team!

 Over the next few days, we played house, both at home (quite rustic)

... and at our friend Rob Prior's (very smart indeed).

We raced round the streets... 

 ... and visited our great grandparents, Ro and John.

We also fed some rather unhungry ducks together....

... went out for coffee...

.... cut some shapes on the dancefloor....

... and shared a few baths.

It was so great meeting Issy, she's awesome!

In other news, Sylvie has cut her first two teeth.

And is getting really strong!

 

 And Dadda sent me this really cool tee shirt!

It's ideal for learning to ride my new bike...

...and for afternoon tea parties with Bubba.

That's all from us - see you soon!

P.S On Sunday we are going to see Dad for the first time in 3 weeks. Just for one night but we can't wait!
