Summer Fun with the Ellis Crew

Bec, Andy, Daisy (5), Zach (3.5), and Basty (18mths) - Blake's sister and family - came over from Dubai to visit us this past fortnight.

Fortunately we now have enough room for this to have been a fun holiday for all, with kids generally going nuts in some region or other of the house, but lots of fun and sightseeing and enjoying the lovely weather outside going on.







Benjy and Basty (Sebastian) were great little mates...



Though I think benjy was pushing the boundaries by sitting on his lap




Benjy loves getting amongst it 'au naturel' (which is great 'cause the Swiss don't have a problem with nakedness)




Daisy loved looking after the little ones




And racing about with the big ones





Water taxis cross the Rhine, for a bit of fun




Benjy insists on taking over the wheel




We found a great vegetarian restaurant with a kids' corner!! I'm not sure who was more delighted!




We took a day trip to Colmar, France - an amazingly beautiful place



We really had a great time but they have now headed home and we are only just adjusting to the empty house. The boys really miss their cousins and were a nightmare the two days following their departure! Looking forward now to Auntie Nina's arrival!
