Mummy's Week Off! A Trip to USA for Uncle A's Wedding.

So, rather excitingly, I took a whole week off from Mummy-ing and went to Virginia and Washington DC for my brother A's wedding.  Here I am relaxing (RELAXING!!) with my littlest brother, T.

...more relaxing...

We visited my brother's University, Christendom College, where he met his fiancée five years ago.

I bumped into an old, long-lost friend whom I'd met in Argentina 17 years ago!  320 000 000 US citizens and it turns out my friend was the daughter of my brother's university professor! 

A trip into DC.

The White House

These two are getting married!

Wedding ready!

 A shout out to Noreen, blog-follower and fellow wedding party girl! ;)

Homeward bound with my lovely sister.

A Beach Break

On Saturday we seized the day and went to our favourite beach.

The Boy made a speedboat.

Monkey Girl spent the whole day looking for creatures.  Her favourite pastime!

Mummy had a go in the speedboat...

...unfortunately it was much too fast for Mummy.

Shrimping

Showing Uncle T his haul of shrimps.  

Good job!

This one needs books and nets and she's set for life :)

Ballet Girl and Uncle T 

Uncles are for saving nieces from sharks in shallow water.

Bestest Papa.

I love my man.

Fish and chips watching the tide come in.  Perfect.

Holiday Club Mayhem and Sit Down Time

The kiddies spent five mornings last week at Holiday Club.  It felt WEIRD leaving them there - I almost skipped to my car!  Love y'all kiddies - but, wow:  Mummy time was fun!

They made some sweet craft as well as going bowling, singing songs, playing games and making friends.

Here're some of their creations from Holiday Club and also some library activities.
