Long, hot summer afternoons and water fun in the backyard with friends - could it get any better for the kids?
Apparently yes. Slurping on delicious rainbow Paddle Pops, makes the day practically perfect.
Today we had a pot luck patio party at the Dews, first just for the sake of it and secondly to celebrate and ohh and ahh over their newly built patio. The kids had so much fun frolicking in the backyard, taking turns being squirted and the squirtee with a squeezey bottle. They played tag (tiggy?), kicked balls, dressed up and did parades (Malia & Grace) and then all took turns in the bath. I got a bit of time to take some gorgeous pics of the youngest member of the clan, Miss Ruby. This little sweetheart has the most stunning blue, sapphire eyes that are such a pleasure to photograph. They look so amazing from any angle, very photogenic little girl. It was a little hard getting a smile out of her though, which the reason became obvious the following day when she came down with Hand, foot and Mouth disease - poor little thing. Jasper also came down with it, and Xav got ulcers in his mouth which I don't doubt is related. Now just the wait to see if any of the other kids succumb.
I also managed to snap a nice shot of this cheeky little boy - Noah. He's a very hard little person to take a photo of as he barely stops still for more than a second. This is such a "typical" Noey look, so I'm rather pleased I managed to capture it.
