Our Summer

Well, what else did we do with our summer?

We visited my parents twice while David was off. The first time we went down we did a lot of running around. The highlight for Abby was her first train ride. We took the train to Glasgow for the day. It was exhausting - a pushchair, 2 toddlers, nappy bag, backpack, and a pregnant belly! Abby loved it. We thought she would be a bit afraid on the underground but she loved how fast it went. We explored one of the museums for a while and had lunch there before heading back to Grannie and Grandads house. Abby and I also attended my one of my Aunts 60th Birthday party. Abby had a blast staying up late and dancing the night away.

We also spent a lot of time visiting my brother and his family in Aberdeen. Abby LOVES her cousins and AJ enjoys seeing all the "big" kids playing, she is already at the point where she is desperate to join in. We stayed with them on 2 different occasions. The 2nd time was so that we could all take turns attending a lecture series organised by Aberdeen CoC given by John Clayton. Kristen, David and I took turns staying at home with the kids. We all enjoyed some kid free time.

We got a few of those wee jobs done around the house. We went out to a park or two. Mostly we just enjoyed all being together.

The other big activity we got to do was a trip to the Safari Park near my parents home. Other than fighting away the swarms of wasps that were everywhere the kids had fun and we were all exhausted from a fun filled day.
