My FIL and MIL Joy have retired to a coastal community about 3 hours north of us and we went and stayed with them for a couple of days after New Year. We had a fantastic time with Nick, Trac and the kids as well. The new house is amazing (Dave did the joinery) and its right on the beach! The location is amazing, from the deck of the house to the waters edge is about a 30 sec stoll, and the weekend was so relaxing.... it helps that Dad and Joy are the most laid back people and I always feel so comfortable with them. Case in point : moving their furniture into the new house, Dad has marked a couple of the (brand new) walls... Joy told me she wasn't worried about cleaning them as she would do it after the Grand kids left....Joy is the ultimate relaxed parent! 
When I first started going out with David (and meeting his Dad) my best friend Annie said "well at least you know what D will look like when he is 50" he is the spit of his Dad.
This is what happens when you try to take too many pics of the Bear.

After tea one night Dad bought out all his old photo albums... we spent hours looking at them. There were great pics of David and his brothers growing up in Africa and Dad guarding the Queen in a former life! So fascinating.
This is Bear and Nick and little bit of my nephew on the wave ride at a water park we visited.
This is Nanna showing my niece how to put pics on a little digital frame the grand kids got for Christmas. Nanna Joy has the patience of a saint and let the kids cook, play, go to the beach, ride and talk to their hearts content...
