herfstvakantie in Austria

We were invited to go to Austria with Rob and Petra, and the rest of the family, for the autumn school holidays. (Thanks again!) It was a fantastic holiday and we had loads of fun. We stayed in Hochkrimml. The weather was amazing and we spent a lot of our time outside.We went for quite a  few walks and saw some amazing scenery.  We also found a few playgrounds so everyone was happy.

We saw the Krimml waterfalls, the highest in Europe. (Ok, you can't see that from the photo but hey, we were there!)









We did see a bit of snow!
and cows...of course.















The kids got along well and amused themselves inside as well.


Singing with Oma and Opa.

my very own Postnet

Dylan spent a lot of the holiday helping out and 'working' at Postnet with my parents. He loves it there and so his very clever Granny made him his very own Postnet (table tent)! So he could work in his very own office at home.
He loved it and I lost count of the number of letters and parcels I sent and received at Postnet!
The delivery van.
The parcels heading off overseas!

Travis stamping his hands!?
Look, dirty hands.
Waiting for the first customer of the day!
It wasn't all work! The boys also got a new formula 1 carpet!

Here they are baking biscuits...



And of course, eating them!
Now we are looking forward to our next visit! But first we have a trip to Austria and then Sinterklaas to look forward to! Busy, busy, busy!

a sneaky visit

I decided to take Travis with me to visit Granny and Grandpa. Just because! Dylan decided there was no way we were going without him, so then we were 3. We had a lovely time, as usual, and the boys were spoilt rotten, as usual!

I was quite nervous about flying on my own with the 2 boys but they were absolute angels! Dylan told Travis all about what to expect and Travis loved the adventure of it all.
We got lucky with the weather and got to spend lots of time outside
Playing football,




collecting pine cones,


swimming,
the big pool was still too cold!
watering the plants,


the little pool was just right


eating ice-creams



and going for walks with Granny.
