A trip to Kent

Last Monday, the girls made what’s become our annual trip down to Kent to visit my sister and her two youngest girls. My three have been eagerly awaiting this trip for weeks, they love having a whole week to play with their cousins. We set off early Monday morning for a long train ride, four trains including a trip across the London Underground later and we arrived.

I love the fact that even though they don’t see each other very often, they can pick straight back up where they left off and carry on playing as if it had been days and not months since they were together last. There were lots of games, lots of late nights and lots of fun. We took a trip to Folkestone on the Tuesday, found an amazing climbing frame and a rather cold sea to play in! We also went to Canterbury for a day out, found yet another playpark and a fun museum/library to spend the afternoon in {it also had a cafe- always a bonus!}

By Thursday, even this Mama was exhausted – I managed to sneak in a nap while my sister took all five girls to the park. Then we took a walk through the village, challenging the girls to a nature hunt, finding something that began with each letter of the alphabet – we found most, only a couple of letters missing!

On our last evening, we went to one of the fields from my sister and her husbands farm, where they were setting up ready for friends coming camping on the weekend. The kiddos built a house out of hay-bales, and we had a little fire and made smores.

Friday came around all too soon, and there were five girls who didn’t want the week to end. We had a great week, and were definitely glad to come home see Papa, but I’ve had lots of requests for us to move nearer their cousins!!
