Hanna's birthday.

Today was our friend Hanna's birthday. She turned 3! Her Mom and I have been friends since college and our kids all get on very well too. We are not able to make it to Hanna's party on Saturday because we have my niece's party to attend so we had a picnic at Ferndale today instead.
Hanna Grace Hunt is such a sweetie. She gave us all quite a shock when at 9 days old (or thereabout) she developed major reflux and almost choked to death. However, she has grown into a beautiful 3 year old and has a lovely nature.


We all had fun at Ferndale again! Niave discovered the tyre swing (and how to climb inside the duck pond area - with a little help from her sister).

There was a tortoise picnicking next to us, we all had to look twice to make sure he was not real!!

Abigail got into the swing of things on the monkey bars! They used to be her absolute favourite.

It was rather windy, just for a change!!!, but we had fun and just so that Niave will know it was a birthday, there were even candles. Unfortunately the wind did more blowing out than Hanna but she didn't seem to mind.

Also, it is back to school tomorrow so it was a nice way to end off the holidays.
