Grandma didn't know that we were coming to see her, so she was thrilled!
She had been waiting to meet my nephew. My sister adopted him last year and he has our much loved grandfather's name. Needless to say he was the star of the weekend. He was charming to all he met and left a lasting impression.
That face is pure cheekiness!
We were able to spend about an hour each day on the beach.
Digging,
jumping waves,
searching rock pools and
finding hermit crabs.
It was a lovely weekend, but as always, it is good to be home.
A song from our road trip.

Your Grandma looks so happy there. The other pics are great too. I love the jumping waves one.
Good to have you home!! Gorgeous photos. You have my admiration - 8 hours is a long trip with two little guys.
I love that song. The beach photos are just lovely, as are your niece and nephew.
Sounds like a perfect weekend!
That's what families are for. Your Grandma is a very youthful looking 86 year old. I'm sure having you there made her very happy!
Lovely pics. Your Grandma looks very happy! And as you say, lovely children!
Great photos! Looks like it was a memorable trip. (But surely, you deserve a medal for 8 hrs on the road with two kids!)
NICE.
I'm a slight shade of green here.
No, I don't feel nauseous, I think, maybe its a touch of the green eyed monster.
I never really new my grandparents - the last passed away when I was about 13 years old. So I have a bit of the jealousy bug here too. What a great surprise to give!
And yes, 8 hours in a car with two young kids - know all about that. Three cheers for you and your sister (and the kids!)
What a lovely surprise for grandma.
(Although I suspect you'd have needed a little lie down after such a looong car trip with kids!)
Caramaena - she said afterwards that she felt so loved on the day
Kirsty - did I say eight, it may have been twenty hours
stomper - it is a lovely beach, lots of shells to find
vicki - it was pretty good considering how close we are to winter
molly - she is young for her age
meggie - she was sad to see us go home
fairlie - medal? no just panadol
rise - what is making you so green, is it the beautiful north queensland sunshine?
nutmeg - so sad, I didn't lose a grandparent until I was 26, I have a lot of memories with all of them
my float - oh yes, a lie down, but the kids needed to run and run and run
what a little cutie is your nephew ! :)
Love the photos !
