For the first few days while Laura and Kobe were here we didn't do a lot. Laura and Kobe had a few naps to get over the jet lag and Leilani and Emily played with all their new gifts (spoilt little things really!) They each had 1000 stickers to play with in the biggest sticker book I have ever seen - they thought it was great! Aunty Laura and Kobe also brought them a really cool bouncy ball each as well as new coats, hats and gloves! I spent my time eating the only good chocolate to come from America - Hershy's Cookies 'n Cream! Mmm.... thanks Laura!
On Wednesday we all went out for lunch with my friend Maria and her son Lucas. It was Lucas' birthday on the Friday but because we were going to be away, Maria invited us out for lunch. The kids had a great time in the play area, and it's amazing to see how much the three of them have grown this year. The O'bridge was the first place Maria and I had lunch together and way back in February the kids only played in the small toddler area, but now they are going down the big slides and climbing all the way to the top of the frames! Kobe had fun too I think - until some other mean kid trod on his head! Luckily Kobe is pretty tough though!
Emily, Leilani and Lucas with Lucas' birthday present! The girls are going to miss Lucas, and I think Lucas will miss them too.
Maria and I try and get together for lunch about once a month. I'm really going to miss her and our play days. Lucas is Maria and Kevin's 6th child (so they are a little ahead of us!). They are a wonderful family and we all get on really well. It will be sad to say goodbye.
