Some of Da Whanau.....

Aunty Helen's (of the Zucchini Fritters fame) Mum and Dad were visiting them when we turned up to visit them also - I guess that's one of the hazards of having a weekend place - people keep wanting to call in and see you while you're there (which makes getting on with your jobs all a bit hard):


They came in the new car - which had loads of bells and whistles - very flash indeed!:


Aunty Helen herself:


Ruby's probably wishing she let me take another photo of her now, lol:


Uncle Bill:


Grandad (from off the wall at Aunty Vick's place):


The Butch Bevan Builders:


Aunty Jan's fab outdoor furniture:


And the fab garden sculpture:


Daughters of The World's Best Truck Driver (who cares what some two-bob gravel delivery boy says?!)


They don't get much cooler than Karz (even when she's just woken up):


Uncle Trev:


Sorry Shari:


The original Butch Bevan:


The Grandmother (who's having a birthday next week, but don't tell anyone.....)


Now there's an aptly titled "Great" Aunty:


Talk about cheesy - lucky he's mastered the art of holding on to a gorgeous woman (literally and figuratively):


Cheesy's brother, The Man Mountain (but check out that dining suite he's sitting at!):


And the view he's sitting in front of - Happy Birthday, by the way cuz:


The Girlie half of The Twins:


And the Boy half:


And their big sister (oh, uh, oh - as in Shania Twain's "Man! I Feel Like a Woman!"):
