Last days of summer

Cousin Gabi and Auntie Nia left yesterday, but the last couple of days that we had together after our weekend party were great. The air is cooling off though and it definitely feels like summer is over. Here is the lunchtime scene on Tuesday. Or maybe it was Monday. We laid pretty low on Monday and just recovered from the party...
We went on a bike ride Tuesday morning and Rhiannon rode her own bike while Gabi and Tryfs got to be in the Burley. Auntie Nia got to hold Bentley's leash so that he could come too.
Taking the babies out shopping for groceries. Rhii and Gabi would take turns asking us Mamas what we would like them to pick up at the shop for us, and then they would push the strollers across the lawn and pretend to shop.
The boys wanted to climb the tree in theory, but not really in practice. Rhiannon didn't give them too much opportunity anyway since she feels that it is really 'her' tree.
We fit quite a lot into the 6 days that Nia and Gabi were here, and it was good practice for the kids to speak Welsh together -- even Tryfan is starting to say things now in Welsh. Plus it was good practice for Auntie Nia to have more youngens (and therefore more chaos) around since Gabriel is going to be a big brother come late January!!
