This weekend I had flashbacks to my own childhood. On Saturday we headed off to the tip, a trip I made many a time with my father growing up. Grace loved the adventure, but loved dancing in the trailer even more. That night we had my family over for my Dad's birthday dinner. I love having my whole family together and enjoy seeing how much fun Grace has with everyone. I am still feeling terribly stressed about leaving Grace while we go on our honeymoon in April but when I see how much she loves spending time with the family, I feel a little bit better.
On Sunday as the rain cleared we headed out to a farm day. Grace got to give her new gum boots a good work out in the mud as well as pat cows, miniature horses and sheep. She only face planted once in the mud in her rush to get to see a cow. Her favourite part of the day by far was the very large ice cream that she got to consume. We are not going to win any parenting awards for good nutrition yesterday, but pretty sure we will win one for lots of mucky fun.
Sunday night saw a quick impromptu visit from my Mum and Dad to solve some IT issues. Even thought we had seen them on Saturday night, it is always lovely to have them pop round and makes me count my blessings that we live so close. They are about to head off on another global adventure and I know I am going to miss them terribly. But thank goodness for modern technology which means they are only a text or call away!
