How time flies when you get old. I thought it was only a week ago when I posted but now I see that it was over three weeks. Dang!
Last weekend, daughter Sonya and her boys, flew from Melbourne to visit for a few days and to warm up in Queensland sunshine.
The boys had a turn at flying the jet.
The Melbourne family found it quite warm up here in Brisbane. They enjoyed some time in the spa.
Cheeky
The next day we went on the ferry to Coochiemudlo Island for a picnic and play on the beach.
It was a lovely sunny winter's day
Fox constructing a canal.
The next day it was a picnic in the forest in walking distance from the village. Banjo spies a wallaby.
Granddaddy bonds with the boys.
In the afternoon Sonya and her friend, Kelly relax in our Zen Garden, while the children went rock hopping.

On the last morning I took the boys to the local skate park and playground.
Fox found a place for me to rest and he took a photo of me. Then it was off to the airport and back home to cold Melbourne for Sonya and the boys. It was a fun weekend and so good to see Sonya relax a little.
The spa photo is very funny. It must have been so nice for them to get some warmth and sun. I don't usually complain about the cold, but I am this year and winter has just begun.
ReplyDeleteLooks fun for everyone and you grandson kept a keen eye on his grandmother to give her some rest!
ReplyDeleteWhen we had thoughts of moving to Ozz Brisbane was the place I wanted to be as I loved the climate there. Sadly we never had enough money for them to let us in despite Nigel's sister living in Sydney. As things turned out we are pretty happy in France, but the language would have been much easier in Brisbane!!!
ReplyDeleteLove this post and it looks like the boys had a great time. Love the cheeky photo LOL.
Have a good Sunday and take care. T'other Diane
We are on our way north for the winter. Frosty here .... brrrrr.
ReplyDeleteIt is getting a bit cooler here now.
DeleteA great series of photos of the family Diane. Must have been lovely for them to get away from the cold. Those grandchildren of yours are as handsome as ever and it has been fun toe them growing in your photos.
ReplyDeleteHello, I am sure it was fun times to have your grandsons and daughter visiting. The boy are so handsome and growing quickly. Wonderful series of family photos. Happy Saturday, enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteit was a great time with your family
ReplyDeleteWhen family visits, the time flies. you had lots of activities with the boys. I am sure they enjoy their visits to the grandparents to sunny Qld. Also nice to have your daughter for a visit. Lovely family pictures.
ReplyDeleteYour banner daisy picture is marvellous.
ReplyDeleteYour new home seems to be ideal for little visitors ! And it certainly was nice for Sonja too !
ReplyDeleteBoys and their tricks :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful to have your family come for awhile.
Good photos and nice memories for the boys..
Lovely for them all to be able to explore your new territory. It does look beautiful. I bet the boys loved 'flying' the jet.
ReplyDeleteIt looks as if you had a marvelous time with the the grandchildren. I think I would have been worn out after trying to keep up with them.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had plenty of warm weather and sunshine to share! What fun to have your daughter and those cute bouncy boys to entertain you for a weekend.
ReplyDeleteAnd what cute pilots! Love all the pics....glad you had visitors
ReplyDeleteThey must have all enjoyed visiting you in your new home with lots to explore. Indeed a pleasant break from the southern cold too.
ReplyDeleteAnd what a great visit it was! I forget, was this the first time Sonia and the boys had seen your new home? It certainly made a lovely place for them to relax (her) and play (the boys)...... and so nice for them to be there for a late fall/early winter warm up.
ReplyDeleteYes, Diane, time does fly by in more ways than one. No worries about not blogging in awhile because life is way more important and you have obviously had a fun time with your grandsons and their mom visiting. Loved the pool photo too.
ReplyDeleteIt seems that they keep you two young and moving!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous family Love the photo in the pool How funny. You must have had a wonderful time
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely lovely to see your delightful family enjoying their visit with you (and you with them). You're both ideally set up for such visits too, plenty to do and see. The boys are growing and I love how Fox looked after you and took your photo :D)
ReplyDeleteoh yes, that "cheeky" pic is gorgeous!!
