Shawn, Bev, and Family

Welcome to the twinhouse! Shawn and I were married in 1997 and have been blessed (yes, blessed!) with 2 sets of twins. Alexander and Benjamin were born in 2002 and Hannah and Jacob joined the family in 2004. We created this blog to keep friends and family updated on the excitement in the twinhouse.

More Scottish Fun with Canadian Visitor

Our second week with Cindy is almost over and we continue to have a great time showing her around our lovely city. Tonight she is actually out at the Military Tattoo....I am VERY jealous. The event has been sold out for quite some time but friends of ours were just given tickets. I was going to babysit for them while they attended but at the last minute the wife wasn't feeling well....so Cindy got to go instead! What an experience she will have....did I mention I am a little jealous??
Anyhow, here are a few pictures of what we have been doing here this last week:
Yesterday, Cindy and I got to travel to Dollar, Scotland to visit Campbell Castle. It was a great chance to spend time together as Shawn took care of all the children so we could go alone....very nice! Here is Cindy in front of her castle:

Here we are at the entrance to the castle
Cindy with a gorgeous view from the top of her castle
And another picture which just looks too good to be true. This was also taken from the top of the castle. Do you see why we love this country??
We took the children to a city farm this week as well. It was a great place to spend the day. Here are the children climbing on the tractor that is at the farm.
There are some indoor "exhibits" at the farm as well. So here are Cindy, Hannah, and the boys looking at the tropical fish.
And now....the cutest pictures I ever did see....but I am a little biased. We gave all the boys hair cuts again Tuesday night and Benjamin (quite out of the blue) said he wanted a strip of hair left in the middle of his head. So we gave him a little mohawk (temporarily...we cut it off after pictures) and took some pictures.
What is a mohawk without sunglasses and a guitar??
A close up of our cool dude!!

We also went to the beach this week but didn't take our cameras....what were we thinking???!! However, they probably would have gotten all covered in sand anyhow. The children LOVED the beach and had a great time playing in the waves and building sand castles. It really made me want to try to find a way to go back to Canada for a bit next summer to enjoy my mom's new beach house! Hope you are all enjoying your summers. We'd love to hear from you!

Great seeing more pictures of your adventures......Benjamin, I think you should keep your hair that way, then everyone would be able to tell you and Alexander apart plus I think it looks cute...Ha Ha!
