Two Visits from Sydney and Tasmania

 Jonathan flew in from Tasmania, and Nellie flew in from Sydney. On Sunday, Jean will be flying in from New Zealand. The occasion? It's Pa's 79th birthday.  As usual, the Evans Clan gathers and fun and laughter will ring Norfolk Island as they thoroughly enjoy themselves with an absolute minimum of effort.

 First day and they're down on the reef under Pa's house, catching some fish and gathering hihi's for dinner.

I'm taking a photo of Nellie taking a photo of Jon and Pa. (Jon's teaching his "grandmother, how to suck eggs!)

 Jonathan's given up on his instructions, and has returned to also collect hihi's

 Pa doing his own thing and probably catching more fish than anyone else

 Dids has joined the happy crew with his own set of instructions. As you can see, Jon is paying avid attention

 Jamie en one hihi se come up orf a stoen.

 The gorgeous little Aurora Davies~Rutledge, paying full attention to her Mummy. (Who also happens to have a mashed banana!

 What a little darling girl she is

 ...and speaking of darlings. Hetieh Mirra en Nellie. Lordy, Lordy.

 Food on the table and everyone very happy indeed
