This week we had our dear friends Beef (Clare) and Ben and their son Connor come down for a visit, from Monday through Thursday. The original plan was that we would spend our days at the beaches and parks, having fun in the sun and letting the kids have a good play. But it rained. It started raining on Monday morning, just in time for their arrival, and it stopped raining on Thursday afternoon, about two hours after they left. Literally. We had to make the most of being inside with a four year old and two 2 years olds squabbling over toys. But we survived the kids, and had a good time doing it. We briefly got out to a very crowded Milton on Tuesday, and then on Wednesday we took the kids to the play cafe in town, then on to the Golf Club for a drink. We also got my parents to babysit the kids on Wednesday night so we got to go out for a real grown up meal (woo hoo!), and Beef and I beat the boys in a game of 2001 Trivial Pursuit (I knew we would!). We made the most of our time, and had fun with our friends, but talk about a rained out holiday! It was very sweet to get the kids together, (that is when Arley wasn't being a grump), and it will be nice to see them continue to be friends as they get older. And of course now the sun has come out and we have blue skies and great weather.

Happy boy, reunited with his trains :)
