Saying our final good bye to Setsuna

We burried our special bunny Setsuna today and she is missed, and so in the ANZAC spirit these words ring true:

We will remember her

Lest we forget

Setsuna

 We were so very lucky to all be there before and as our wonderful bunny Setsuna died yesterday. We all got to hold her and say good bye to her as she died in SV's arms. She could feel all of our love for her as we all spoke to her. It was a comfort to know she did not suffer. It was very emotional but we all got to be there together and support each other through it. She was a truly special bunny that was a companion to all of us and truly a member of our family. She will be missed but not forgotten. 

Time with friends

 The summer is a bit short because of travel we have on this summer. So we are making the most of the time off by inviting friends over for a play and a swim. They all played really nicely together and had a blast. The only down side was that it was hard to say good bye at the end.

Picking fruit

 We were asked to help pick fruit for our friends the Rosses and we jumped at the opportunity. They have a delicious plum and even better fig tree. Since the timing worked we were very glad to help pick, clean and freeze the fruit so that they could make jam from it later in the year. The girls had a good time picking fruit and having a couple of samples. In the end we managed to fill just about the entire freezer with clean fruit.

Pool party

 We had a couple of friends over to Grandma Cece's and Ron's pool. The adults got a chance to talk and swim a bit while the kids entertained themselves. The kids enjoyed a snack and a whole lot of swimming. They really had a lot of fun together.

More Pride

 The crowd and the parade particiants were very jovial and it made the event really nice. The girls got into it and got a fair bit of attention. We also got to see a couple of people we knew march in the parade which added to the fun. The only down side was that after the parade there wasn't any follow up activities that we could partake in and so we found a plae to have lunch instead. We ended up enjoying lunch just chatting.

 

Sac Pride

 Thie year we went to the Pride parade in Sacramento and Grandma Cece and Ron came along too. Unfortunately KT couldn't go because she was working but we had a good time. It was a smaller parade but it was well represented and everyone was having a good time.
