Weekend with the Mills cousins

Another thing that i feel that my kids miss out on are cousins. I grew up with more cousins than i can count and had loads of fun playing with them during school holidays. So, when we were in England, one of the agenda was for Tyler and Cody to meet their other cousins Jake and Daniel(yes, Tyler has 2 cousins named Daniel, and 2 aunt Sarah!! Very confusing for him).

Due to busy schedules, we only had 1 weekend with the cousins, so we went up to Bristol to see them. Didn't take Tyler too long to bond with his cousins, who have more toys than a toy shop!! Soon, they were playing and fighting, just like normal cousins do!

Jake was quite taken by Cody

We also made a trip to Blaise Castle for the kids to run around.

And of course, when there is Grandma, there is ice cream!!

There was also a fair somewhere near their house so we went to check it out. Tyler who had just woken up took a while to warm up to the park. Once he was, he was demanding for rides!!!

The swing around thing

Jake gave Cody a ride on his shoulders. Cody was laughing his head off!

And on Sunday, it was Grandma's birthday! It was a rare chance for us to be around to celebrate it with her. Cody, who was a little miffed to find his pictures absent in Grandma's house, bought Grandma some frames!! haha!! We went out for a simple lunch at a corner pub and then went back to the house to relax.

A nice picture of Grandma and the grandkids

Grandma who probably always wished that all her grandchildren are together is probably rethinking that wish after she'd been pulled in more ways than she can go, especially after she'd been on the trampoline with them!! haha!! 4 active grandsons is not a laughing matter!!! Check out the picture below!!

The weekend quickly came to an end(though i think the adults were ready for it to end!) and we bade the cousins goodbye and headed back to Bristol.

Thanks to Barry and Sarah for the lovely weekend and Jake and Daniel who were more than generous with their toys!!
