I'm always telling my kids how lucky they are to have one set of grandparents on a farm, and the other at the beach. We always have somewhere beautiful to getaway to and family get togethers are always fun with lots of things to do.
This was our Easter break...
in pictures...lots and lots of pictures...
 |
| Playing on tractors |
 |
| Two cousins on two tractors |
 |
| The robots doing their thing |
 |
| I love the babies |
 |
| There are not usually ones of this colour on the farm! |
 |
| And I love the big ones |
 |
| My old primary school...700m from my old home |
 |
| Goats and cows |
 |
| Mum forgot to warn me about these on the top verandah! They are fake!! |
 |
| Sunrise |
 |
| A beautiful morning |
 |
My husband's favourite mountain to climb.
Yes, he has been right to the top, many times! |
 |
The dam...that cows drink from and walk in and ducks swim on...
of course you wouldn't swim in it... |
 |
| ...or would you? |
 |
| The kids are loving it despite the green slimy water and duck poo! |
 |
| Yes, this is what it looks like...cow poo not duck poo! |
 |
| My boy |
 |
| Then these rained on us |
 |
| So it was a quick bike ride home |
 |
| My brother's house...looks a little like my dream home, huh? |
 |
| This was the view from my bedroom window for 18 years |
 |
| Behind a dew laden cobweb |
 |
| A misty morning |
 |
| Time for a tractor ride |
 |
| Visiting the cousin's house, and Timmy |
 |
| After burning the rubbish you paint yourself with the ashes...don't you? |
 |
| The ducks refused to pose |
 |
| And now...we're at the beach |
 |
| A busy Easter Saturday on the water |
 |
| My view, lying under a tree....ahhhhhhh |
 |
| Fishing...not us, other people |
 |
| Building dams |
 |
| A picture perfect day |
 |
| Easter Sunday at the surf beach |
 |
| It's not too cold! |
 |
| "This is fun!" |
 |
| And....JUMP |
 |
| Catching a wave |
Thank YOU. I just experienced that lovely holiday with you.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful countryside where you grew up. I can see why you love it.

The kids are lucky..
Great photos Thea... and I love a good look-see.
Love the bloggy update & the Wedding Countdown..XX
WOW! That looks just about perfect Thea... no actually, it looks PERFECT!
ReplyDeleteLove these pics of your Easter weekend, you're right, your little ones are so lucky to experience both ends of the geographical spectrum. Just lovely.
I couldn't pick just one shot I liked the most, so I'll just say ALL OF THEM :o)
Beautiful photos - looks like lots and lots of fun! x

What an awesome weekend you had! Thank you for sharing these awesome photos.
ReplyDeleteI also spent some time on the weekend at the beach. Who would think it could ever be beach weather in Australia and the UK at the same time!
xx
ahhh lovely!
ReplyDeleteThose photos are divine - both places look like so much fun. Must admit I am more of a farm girl though. and those fake snakes - scared me they did! x
ReplyDeleteAs you say one set of grandparents in the country and one at the beach, perfect :)
