Lots of fun with cousins!

Craig, Claire, Ellie, Rebekah and Lydia arrived at our home around the same time Ragnar and Ryan returned from their few days in the Faroes.

Wow - now we were literally all together!  We were so looking forward to the next week.

Here are the oldest 6 grandkids enjoying their breakfast together.

A picnic in our back yard.

Adding another swing.

Then trying it out.

Getting ready to celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.

Traditional yummy British lunch prepared by our 'British Princess.'

Little Andrew taking the show while we were waiting for the Birds of Prey Show.

At the end of the show we could all have the Redtail Hawk land on our hand.

Each generation taking a turn.

Taking turns feeding the animals.

Then horse back riding.

One day we went for a short ride on a nearby Steam Train.

Crokinole is always part of a Niclasen reunion.

There is a little model of Thomas the Train in our neighbourhood.  Noah and Omma's traditional British date.  

Moms and Dads went out for the day, so while they were gone, we snuck in a 'hot chocolate' party...  

and a trip to McDonalds.  Ssshhh!! 

Then a time for peanuts and raisins in the 'slide house'

Working in the garden!

Two little artists. 

Andrew really didn't think it was time to get up yet!!

Kandace is growing up - she was almost 6 months old when they left.

The night before they left she sat up in our bed.

Bible Story before it is time to turn the light off.

Lots of hugs for 6 year olds!

More fun in the back yard!!
