Easter School Holidays

Well we are at the end of another Easter school holiday and the kids are already asking when the next school holidays are...My sister and her family came down and stayed with us for the school holidays and the kids had a great time playing with their cousins and Lydia had a great time over loving baby lachlin :) My sister left on Saturday and the last two days Lydia has been walking around the house calling out for her cousin Nicholas..she finally came up to me and said "Nick Nick gone!" holding her little arms out to show she couldn't find him "I know" i said "we'll see them again soon " She just looked at me and said "Nick Nick gone" again. I think she misses them :)


I love to visit with my sister, there is nothing like having family around especially when they are one of your closest friends as well :) They did their thing and we did our thing and caught up on Friday and did sea world together. Which was heaps of fun and the kids had a ball! It is amazing how much enjoyment i can get out of watching the joy on my kids faces! Both Mr knightly and i took turns staying with Lydia(who is too small for alot of the rides) waiting for the other one to go on the rides with the other kids..Poor Mr knightly even endured rope burn on one of the rides to go on with Edmund and then going on the merry go round with Lydia (when she woke up) three time in a row and got a bit merry go rounded out! Darcy,Edmund and I went on the Bermuda Triangle ride with Andrea,Graham and Ethan(I'm sure i didn't get that wet last time i went on it!!)i was pretending to be really scared and the boys were laughing at me, obviously they thought it was funny! and then Lizzie,Darcy,Jayne and i went on the Viking ride and got all wet:) But it was all worth it to see the kids having a great time and watching their eyes light up at seeing new and exciting things!
On Saturday we went for a drive in the afternoon to Kalbar, it was a lovely drive out into the country side and always makes me yearn for a farm of my own..I told Mr knightly he shouldn't take me on trips out there as i always want to move out to the country then!
Sunday we had General Conference and so we stayed home and watched it on our TV. Mr knightly hooked it up to the Internet. They where excellent talks and then he went to the Priesthood session with his Dad at the chapel.

It has been a really good holiday :)
