Kentwell Hall

We had another fun outing with Becky and Hazel, this time to Kentwell Hall, a beautiful mansion house not far from us.
a big thanks to Becky for taking some cute shots of us!

 One fascinating feature of the gardens were these person-shaped bushes at the back of the house. Quirky, fun, cute.
 There was some burning going on near the gardens, and it really affected our lungs and visibility at times (it was the only bad thing about the day). You can see it really well in the below photos where Gavin is demonstrating perfect yoga positions.

eating a nectarine (attempting it in one single bite, it seems)
Apples are in season, and the apples at Kentwell were beautiful and plentiful!
 It was a gorgeous day with gorgeous scenery and wonderful company! We didn't actually tour the house because we didn't have time before naps, but the gardens kept us busy and happy.



 As usual, Hazel and Gavin were extremely cute together.


 The peafowl were cute at first, but then there was an incident I'm a little ashamed to relate. I should have been a better parent and shielded my child from it, but instead I took pictures. (Go ahead and judge me.) This peacock actually stole Gavin's snack right out of his hands! The groundskeeper said that so many people feed them, they come looking for food and aren't as scared of us as they should be.

I love the picture of you and Gavin, did you plan the outfits or did you just happen to be perfectly coordinated that day? The yoga positions are also pretty impressive :)

All the pics are gorgeous as usual. Love the one of you & Gavin. My fave is of him & his friend looking in the well. I wish you had video of him & the peacock. That would have been priceless. :-)
