After the snow on Wednesday last week, it looked like we might not get visitors!  But they got here on Thursday night once the kids were in bed. 

James was at work on Friday as normal, so the rest of us headed in to union Square for a lunch out.  The kids chose Pizza Hut.  It was actualy nice - think they've gone upmarket recently or something!  We came home and I had a dress fitting (bridesmaids dress for Jenni's wedding) so Kory & Krystal stayed here with Coral & Chad while I went. 

On Saturday morning the post arrived with Easter goodies from Dad & Tricia.

Once we were all sorted we decided to head to Doonies Farm as it was re-opening.  It was a bit of a chilly day, but it was nice to be outside.  They gave all the kids buckets of veg to go round and feed the animals.  Kory loved it, Krystal was having none of it!!

 Feeling the cold....soft southerners!! 

We then went to Dobbies for a cuppa and a cake.  Yum! 

Yesterday (Easter Sunday) we went to Drum Castle just like we did last year.  It was a warmer day and we did some egg rolling, had a play in the park (where Krystal managed to swallow a whole polo mint and needed squeezed to make her sick) then went a walk round the forest trail. 

We headed back into town afterwards and all went out for a mexican meal.  It was yummy!

Today was a sitting about doing nothing day, which I don't do well.  I hate being stuck in the house as I'm here all the time.  But everyone else wanted to chill before travelling again.  So, um, I don't have much to report on that!

Coral and Chad headed off after dinner to catch their flight home and we popped 2 tired kids to bed!
