Good Friday and Easter Saturday at Mandurah

We decided to go to Mandurah for the Easter long weekend and invited the Romney family to come with us. Jarom and Mon had only just moved into their new house and wanted to get some things done. Kate and her family were heading to Dunsborough with Matt's family. On Thursday after school we drove to Mandurah (and got caught in the traffic heading down South), we arrived in the evening and the Romney's were there shortly afterwards. Christi and the kids drove to Mandurah earlier that day and spent the day at the foreshore. They kindly brought pizzas for everyone for dinner that night. The kids were excited to be bunking together and having a sleep over. Once the kids were asleep the adults stayed up late playing board games (they taught us Rummikub) and we had a lot of fun.   

On Good Friday the following morning we had hot cross buns (too many of them) for breakfast. Then we went for a walk and the kids swam in the pool. It was a very relaxing day and the kids had a blast playing with each other. The photos aren't really in order but you get an idea of what we got up to.

The youngest Romney is Zion (everyone calls her squishy) that nappy is too cute!

Alissa and Eden love to muck around together

Cedar loves the jet ski and watched the boys the whole time - he even had a little ride!

I love how well they all get along

Zara cuddling up to Cedar in their pj's - too cute!

We had a fantastic time with the Romney family, the kids played well, there was lots of laughs and deep discussions and WAY too much eating. They left on Saturday afternoon and we took the kids to the shops to spend the money that Grammie had sent over for them to buy some easter goodies. I don't think the easter bunny needed to come the following morning with all the treats they got!
