Before
I went to Malawi, my daughter Judith came over from there with my 2 grand
children, Daniel and Annika, to visit Northern Ireland and we went down to my
‘old caravan’ overnight. The children
had no TV, computer, internet games, Iphone or Ipads however had hours of fun playing on
bales of hay. These are a few of the
very happy times we all had together on this lovely sunny day.

We
walked up the Drumlins to our picnic area in the hay barn and passed these calves on the way.
Annika has a very keen eye for nature and here she
found a ladybird.
A
well worn Admiral butterfly
More
climbing and more great fun. Just had time to stop for our picnic!
At
the end of a wonderful day, we had a delightful sunset to view.
I
took some video which can be access at

Thank you for visiting and for indulging me this post as it is quite personal but I wanted it recorded as a memory for me.
Many
thanks for all your comments.
Such beautiful children and redheads! We have many redheads in our family. Mine was red till in my late twenties. Your family seems so delightful. Thanks for sharing with your internet friends. blessings
ReplyDeleteThat sort of fun is priceless - and creates precious memories for them, and for you as well.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful kids, enjoying themselves. Fantastic pictures Margaret.

ReplyDeleteWhat a lot of fun your grandchildren were having Margaret. They are adorable and I wish I could bottle their energy.
ReplyDeleteSome absolutely priceless moments for you to cherish, Margaret. How wonderful!
ReplyDeleteQuick! correct the typo in that first reference to Annika before she sees it! ;-}
HI Rlichard You would think I could spell my own grand daughter's name correctly! Many thanks for pointing that out. All correct now.
DeleteHi Margaret,
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a great day, the kids enjoy.

The sunset is also beautiful to look at.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful time with the family.
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures. It is refreshing to see children enjoy play time and that sunset is the perfect ending to a day.
ReplyDeleteAdorable grandchildren. Loving the red hair, the freckles and the blue eyes. I bet climbing those hay bales was fun.
ReplyDeleteOkay I just watched the video, how fun. So why are the bales covered in plastic. I'm guessing to protect them from rain.
ReplyDeleteI love the way the pictures fit the video!! Your grandchildren are beautiful! And oh, the red hair and big blue eyes! Annika with the ladybug is just a perfect picture!!
ReplyDeleteWhat little cuties! They look like they're having so much fun. Wonderful series Margaret.
ReplyDeleteNice pics! Those butterflies get worn more quickly than the kids.

You have a beautiful family, Margaret! Watching youngsters enjoying nature helps me enjoy it that much more. Your photos are excellent!
ReplyDeleteGrandchildren AND daughters are the best! Beautiful family. Now I wonder where Annika gets her eye for nature? It's great to see kids being kids.
ReplyDeleteloving these shots of you with your family. What fun those hay bales look like and know the kids really enjoyed that. It is great to get away to places that are not filled with technology! Lets us all reconnect and find more creative things to do. My grandaughter looked alot like your Annkia when she was little. Those great blue eyes and the red hair. How cute!!!
