We've Flown the Coop

For G's birthday present, the boys and I gave him a weekend away in a beautiful resort set in the hills of the English countryside. We left yesterday for Hampshire, which is just outside of London along the southern coast of England. Hampshire is famed as the home of Jane Austen and Charles Dickens, and we have been told that Henry VIII courted his first wife, Catherine of Aragon, on the grounds of the estate in which we are staying. It is an idyllic setting and each of us are enjoying our time away!

Before we left yesterday, we pulled out the car seats to prepare for our trip. They are such a novelty to the boys and they played in them for well over 20 minutes as we were doing our last bit of packing. I have to say it was pretty handy to have the little ones locked in, I mean buckled in, so that we could finish everything up!

This was waiting for little G when we arrived:

And this was waiting for our little monkeys:

Baby B's was the first to go as he sniffed out the food before the camera even flashed. He quite enjoyed the taste of his little mouse!

Seems our little ones enjoy the high life! They have yet to take off their robes and slippers!
