gathering again

We enjoyed a much anticipated visit to 'the farm' this weekend; it has again been a long while since we've been to a family gathering here, and looking back at the photos of the last one makes me so glad that I keep these notes on our life ~ just look how much the children have grown!

This time the chooks didn't get a look in with the kids, oh no, it was all about the pigs {oh, and the peewee 50 motorbike, Daisy was very keen to get her hands and her bum on that one, and was most disappointed when we told her that she wasn't big enough yet}... but back to the pigs. Cam took these photos and as you can see Angus was a little freaked out, pigs and their piglets are a little outside his range of experience ~ although I think they are sort of cute ~ so he enjoyed his time playing with his second-cousin on the roof of the pig-shed, much more fun.

he wasn't so sure of the piglets or the mud, so ended up standing on top of the roof.

Meanwhile I was back at the house enjoying the warmth of the fire, a hot cup of tea and eyeing off the luscious looking dessert spread. As usual the food was amazing, lunch was a buffet of the vital ingredients to make souvlaki and scrummy baked potatoes. So good, but of course we left some room to fit in the pav and raspberry crush that were the cornerstones of the dessert table.

We all had a great time, especially with most of the extended family being able to come {a lot of them live interstate} and because we had a chance to meet {or introduce} all of our new littlest ones... we can't wait to do it again.
