Westward to Wales for the weekend
We drove to Cardiff on Friday afternoon so that Rhodri could get there in plenty of time to enjoy the pre-match festivities for the Six Nations Wales vs. England match! He actually got a ticket to the game at the last minute so there was great excitement on the drive over. Unfortunately the game didn't go so well for Wales (lost 19-26) but it couldn't have been from lack of support from the Welsh crowd in the Millenium stadium! We saw Auntie Sioned when we first arrived at Auntie Nia and Uncle Cris' house. See any family resemblance?
Saturday was a very cold, windy and rainy day so we went to Nia's favorite place, St. Fagans Museum of Welsh Life. Dogs are allowed in the grounds so Bentley came too. I thought the scene of us mobilizing as we got out of the cars and got everyone bundled up with Bentley sniffing the wind was a bit funny. Rhiannon was getting a talking-to in the background...
I bought them all wooden daggers (mostly because they looked really cool and of good quality, and it seemed a better alternative to them fighting each other with branches that had fallen from the trees) and the troops proceeded to chase each other around the grounds having fights. Surprisingly, nobody got hurt or cried!
Both Tryfan and Gabriel love Buzz Lightyear and they happened to be wearing matching shirts so we had to take a photo!
Rhiannon especially loved looking after baby Valentin, who just turned 1 year old. He is so cute!
It was a really fun weekend and we were sad to leave. Thanks Nia and Cris!
