The Garden Is Alive

Summer Holiday is almost over, but we had a great time with the four grandchildren from Melbourne who came home for a visit.  It was good to see them, enjoying to play in the backyard; indeed, the garden was so alive. I celebrate whenever the kids are around they bless the garden.

Photos were taken.

In the backyard
Conversation and Discussion were taking place among the grandchildren, Mary Rose, the oldest, followed by Thomas, Henry and the youngest is Lily.

The game that they were going to play was Hide and Seek.  They play well together.  They were running around having so much fun, and it was a little exercise too.

Talking to Nana.

Very proud with Beautiful Grand Kids

In the backyard, they were happy to play, but their mother took them to Jump and Climb place to give them activities outside nana's and pop's home.  Sure they had so much fun, and they stayed for a couple of hours.

In the Park with Pop, Lily was not there, she went out with her mum and nana for shopping.

The children had a big day, travelled from Melbourne, were busy playing in the park down the street, it was full-on.  They enjoyed lunch and also dinner.  Often I make the best for what we have of the garden or from the pantry to cook for our children and their family.  A rice dish has to be on the menu, of course, this time I did lazy rice with lamb.  We love the resoles Javanese style.  Meringue for Lily and a Tart for everyone. 

Lunch Time

Dinner Time

It was good to see them, busy and I was almost cannot keep up but felt lucky that they came home to visit us.

Indeed, not only the garden was so alive when the kids were around, but the kitchen was so.

Roast dinner is always great to cook, simple cooking to do, and at the same time, we could catch up with the family.   That what I did, roast leg of pork with plenty of crackling for Henry and everyone.

 No apple sauce was served, soft and sweet roast pear instead.  I am proud of the grandkids, they are only little, but they do understand flavours.  They loved the untraditional roast pork.

Flowers from Lily 

Lily loves the flowers, she picked these beautiful flowers for the tiny vases for Nana and Pop.

We spent more time in the backyard, and more pictures were taken before they were leaving for Melbourne.

With Us.

We will see them again, next term holiday? Or maybe sooner.  Now enjoy the rest of your holiday kids and thank you for sharing your time with us.

The garden is more beautiful and lively when the kids are at home.  I am blessed, We Both Are!

Until Next Post
