Cousins reunion

Yesterday we went to Auntie Mary's house (Nain's sister) in Aberystwyth for a family reunion. Rhiannon and Tryfan didn't know they had so many cousins! Most of them are 2nd cousins, but hey - a cousin is a cousin and that's what makes them great.
Here are (l to r): Dewi (almost 3), Gabriel (2), Rhiannon (almost 3), baby Katie (9 weeks), Hannah (14), Sara (9), Tryfan (1) and Iwan (10).
This picture doesn't really convey the chaos that characterized this get-together, and what is not visible is the layer of old school Tonka trucks, tractors and trains that covered the floor in this conservatory playroom. Needless to say, the kids had a really great time and nobody got hurt (despite the mischievious look on Rhiannon's face as she points a power drill towards Tryfan's face with Gabriel cheering her on in the background). That is Dewi in the foreground of the photo.
Anyway, it was a great day with a good amount of driving (2 hours each way). Fortunately, the colors of the trees, clouds and mountains were gorgeous and we had a great time looking out the window and listening to music in the car. Thanks Auntie Mary for organizing this!
