On Saturday we drove down to see the southern contingent of Rhodri's family who live near Cardiff. We left Saturday morning and were on the road for ~6 hrs including our stops. We stopped at the Halt Cafe which had a wooden train in the garden.
Very fun to drive the train in the rain! We had a little picnic in one of the gazebos and got to run around a little bit before driving the last hour or so to Nia and Cris' house.
We were heartily greeted by a bouncing cousin Gabriel ("Gabs" as our troops call him) and after some initial playing inside the house, Nia and I figured we would be better letting them play and wiggle outside at the playground at the top of their road. This little spinny thing was very popular for all three to ride on, although Tryfan soon figured out that he can go a lot faster if it is just him alone on it.
Before dinnertime, Rhiannon got to hold her newest baby cousin, Gabs' little brother Valentin.
Rhiannon so loves babies and she kept giving Valentin kisses on his forehead, nose, cheeks, hair, and cuddling him close to her chest. So very sweet.
Then we had a delicious dinner that Auntie Nia had prepared, and the 3 cousins got to sit at their own table.
But by the end of the evening when it was actually after their normal bedtime, all three of the bouncy cousins were ready to call it a day!
