Ocean Park

We went to Ocean Park with our visitors...

We realised I matched the seal...

Charlie wasn't tall enough for a lot of the rides..

But we were...!

We rode the cable car

And generally had a blast

Easter

This Easter weekend we had James' cousin David with us.  It was nice and relaxing, and then we were joined by another cousin, Alexander, for Easter dinner.  The kids really took to David;  the last time they had seen him was Christmas dinner 2008, so Charlie wouldn't have remembered him, having been only just two at the time.

On Easter Monday we went to Stanley and walked around and then had a lovely meal at Saigon.   As usual, it was very tasty.  David saw that one of the wines on offer was one that he is very familiar with, so we had that with our meal and now James is a convert to Australian wines.  He even bought a bottle at Watson's on our way back to the car!

Then we went to the Aberdeen Marina Club, where we tired the kids out before heading home for tea and biscuits.

And a sleep.

My Newer Camera

So you know how I got that PEN for Christmas...

It is a wonderful camera, but it is really for serious photography.  I have been coming up with some nice artistic pictures with it.  However. 

When you try to capture your kids with the PEN, you end up with big blurry pictures.

So.

I am now the proud owner of a Nikon also.

So I have been testing it out with the kids.  Look!  Clear, non-blurry action shots!

And Kate can even use it:

And the best thing is, it has 10X zoom, which translates to 300mm.
