After Saturday's showers, Sunday gave us beautiful sunshine and with a big family picnic planned it could not have been better timing. Aunts, Uncles and cousins came from all over and the boys were in their element with green space, sea air, picnic food and plenty of entertainers.
We met in 'the dip', a dipped park on the sea front and played rounders and football, enjoyed ice creams and blueberries and had more fun than you can possibly believe with a stack of cones. We took two exhausted boys back to their beds at the end of a perfect day.
Family has always been such a huge part of my life and I know that it will be for my children. Coming from two big families means they are never short of Aunts, Uncles, Great aunts and Uncles and cousins of all varieties. We may not all get together as often as we would like but we are blessed to have so many people around us who care and these family days are even more special because of this.
(p.s It may look like it was just the four of us there but I promise you it was busy! I wasn't convinced that the rest of the family wanted to be on the blog so I have only used photos of my children)
"The Dip" - not Felixstowe by any chance? Lovely photos :)

ReplyDeleteOn Saturday and Sunday the weather was wonderful and we were so glad to be catching up with family too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely time, so nice to see the sun and get out and enjoy it :) x

ReplyDeleteWow you really got a gorgeous Sunday! And how wonderful to spend it surrounded by family and playing beach cricket - sounds perfect to me!
ReplyDeletewhat gorgeous pics you must have an amazing collection of memories , your psts are always so fab x
ReplyDeleteEverything is better with sun out and family isn't it? I love reading post like this and knowing other families are surrounded by their families. As an expat this is the hardest thing for me, knowing my kids won't have aunts uncles cousins and tons of family around them growing up. So hard to have those same relationships over facetime. But I try it's better than nothing. I am going home for two months to america so my kids can spend lots of time being around all my family as I have a huge huge family and I can't wait. this just got me double excited. You are so lucky to have them near and it will show in your children and their skills to love others and be with others. Family is so important. Glad sunday was gorgeous for you and you got to spend it in the best possible way. Love the photos. Boys are growing up quick!
