This is the welcome Sarah got as we came out of security at the airport. Best part of July for her.

Made it home. Thank goodness for taking a stroller with me, and for NEXUS membership! No way I would have made the connection without them.
Once we got home Laura was excited to show off the craft she had been working on this week with Grandmother. Thanks Grandmother for all the effort you put in!
Introducing the Wee Princess and the Orange (a variation on a classic).

Laura was the first volunteer at the Static electricity demonstration.

We also went to see the trains, though they were very big and scary! Colin wasn’t too impressed. Not the reaction I expected.

The Duck joined us for a morning at the park. He didn’t get into too much trouble.

Making whipped cream for dessert, and licking the beaters.

Eva was busy in the kitchen so Laura entertained Auntie Leyana and Uncle Jonathan with an Eye Spy book.

When I returned from the UK mid-week, I headed out to check the garden. Despite the heat, we are getting some success. I’ve been enjoying fresh tomatoes and peppers in my lunches. And I don’t even have to share!

Confession: I would rather have to share them. I’ve had enough alone time.

Laura and Colin went over to cousin Eva’s house to play in the wading pool and play with bubbles.

I got the VIP tour of the Anglican Cathedral of St John’s the Baptist.
