2008-12-01 Grandma Sik and Grandad Brian
































Aiysha:
It was great having Grandma and Grandad here! They were very funny, and they taught me so much. I spent afternoons with Grandma learning to paint, which was great! I did 3 really nice paintings, and wrote my name in chinese! I can't wait to do more. Grandma left special chinese painting paper for me, with brushes and paint aswell! Thank you Grandma!

Grandad was funny, and we played lots of games of Uno with both of them!

Daddy went on a hike with Grandad, and all of us went to my school to make cakes - I was looking forward to it so much, and I was so glad that Grandma could come to the school and meet my teacher and friends.

Grandma and Daddy went to the market a lot and chose lots of yummy fruit! Grandma also did lots of gardening, planting chilli plants, coriander and spring onions for us. Grandad arranged the garden really well too, and made it look very tidy. Daddy and Mummy never have time to do this because of me and Rocker!

All of us except Grandad went strawberry picking - it was funny, and we picked lots of big red strawberries! We also relaxed a little after, and I was showing everyone how I do my handstands - both Mummy and Grandma were helping me too.

Grandma and Grandad liked their bacon butties and pancakes - in fact, we actually had them every weekend!

I was so happy that they both came to watch me swim! They said that I have improved so much since they were last here, and that I was very strong.

Clara: Grandma made me laugh so much! She kept on tickling me with her nose! Grandad was a bit scary when I first met him, but after a week, I started laughing at him, and that made him laugh too. I eventually let him hold my hand, and that was nice.

C: Our solar heating has broken! Oh no, what will we do when it drops below 30 degrees!? The Lyons will not be happy at all...

S: The hike was fine, but driving in and out of the bush was a little hairy. We had to drive up a river bed a one point, and on the way out, we forgot which dirt road we actually came on! It was a lovely hike though, but got very hot. Dad and I also managed to sneak a little walk on the beach here and there!
