Summer Holidays

We had a lovely vacation in Franklin, Tennessee last week. The journey down there was not so fun but once we arrived everybody settled down. Our kids just don't do well in the car, Ewan has flown long-haul a number of times and has done great, even all the way to Australia, but for some reason he hates being trapped in the car and refuses to sleep.
Anyway, we got there in one piece. We were staying with our friends John and Michelle Privett who took good care of us, we feel so at home at their house so it was very relaxing. We really didn't do very much, we spent a lot of time at the local pool, played outside, went for walks, ate a lot of good food, watched movies and enjoyed the company.

Here is Ewan jumping in the pool by himself, you can see his funny expression!

It was good to catch up with old friends, we have spent the last four Thanksgivings down there so we have some great memories and always enjoy getting together. Ewan loved having so many people around, he's a sociable little boy. He entertained us all with his running commentary on events; he and John even made up a rap for us which you can see here.

Here he is sporting an afro wig

Sitting on John's motorbike, he thought it was pretty cool.

Anya settled in nicely, her favourite part was being held and babbling to anyone who would listen. This is a great photo of her having a bath in the kitchen sink!

So it was good to get some time away and now we're back home making the most of the rest of summer!
