Granny and Granddad

Tonight we spent time with Granny and Granddad at their downtown hotel before they leave back to Canada tomorrow.  We have been really lucky to have them with us for the last month.  Not only because they were gracious enough to watch our kids when we went to Fiji but also because it gave our kids a chance to really spend time with them (and us too).

It feels like a month went by very quickly. The first week we showed them around Melbourne a bit before they adventured out to Sydney on a road trip.  After that Cian was on school holidays so they took some trips out to the Great Ocean Road and Philip Island.  Before you know it a month has gone by.  It's nice too that Keith got to spend time with both his mom and dad; a few trips to the Quiet Man (thank goodness the best Irish pub in the city is so close to our house) and a footy game at Etihad stadium.

As we were walking back to Flinders Street station with our macaroons from Brunetti's I was thinking how lucky and blessed we are to have healthy parents who can rough house with the kids and can travel to wherever we are in the world to join us on our adventures.  Thanks Granny and Granddad for coming to visit, for your support and your love.  Have a safe trip back to Canada and we'll see you in a few weeks.
