Just So Festival

Our good friends Lou and Washington invited us many months ago to join them at the Just So Festival. So we booked our tickets hoping that we would have a great time with the boys.

It turned out the festival was excellent, we all loved it and we will hopefully be back next year.

We stayed in our tent for 3 nights along with 4,000 other families.

Gabe and Alby performed their own set.

The boys were very tired every night and the ipad was great to get them in the mood for bed.

There was a big sand pit.

 Fairies in the woods.

Cowboy training...

 Acrobatics

                                                                     Face painting...

Indians

music...

and a straw fight!

see you soon!

The Natural History Museum

A couple of weeks ago we took the boys to The Natural History Museum in London. 

We took the train and the tube

and visited a butterfly exhibition before going to see all the animals.

Then we had lunch in the cafe, where Charlie kept us entertained.

 Alby was asked by his nursery to look after 'Buddy Bear' for a week and document his exploits.

They had great fun together and Alby was very kind to Buddy, taking him everywhere.

Charlie is great friends with Baxter and at the moment loves to drag his buzzy bee or his crocodile around the place too.

Grandma and Grandad Rutherford say 'See You Later'

Grandma and Grandad Rutherford stayed with us for 5 weeks and here are some snaps from the last few weeks of their stay.

Alby caught up on some of Grandad's light reading.

Charlie is now running everywhere (with mixed results!)

Uncle Mark, Aunty Georgie and Uncle Ash came to visit for a Sunday lunch.

 We did lots of exploring in the park 

And when Prince George was born, we went into central London to witness the 41 gun salute in Green Park.

It was fantastic to have Grandad and Grandma with us for so long and very hard to say goodbye.
