Just hanging about...

 ...having cuddles...

 ...and taking selfies (?)

 Sami's Mum and Sevil Hala.

 Out and About.

 Doing what Sami's family do best - feeding children.

 Altogether - Antalya family

 Down the beach...

 ...the first few weeks were perfect swimming weather.

 Off to feed the ducks.

 Playing dress ups and doing hair.

 In Istanbul now with Serpil Hala.

 Where ever there is water, La is sure to jump in...

...but it was too cold for Leyla!

Getting busy catching up with everyone! It's worth mentioning that Sami keeps the same clothes on high rotation - wash, wear, wash, wear. It may look like everything was done on the one day. The whole holiday in one day. According to the clothes anyways.

 Ellis has a new pet. A Hamster.

 Leyla having a hold...

 ...and La too. I didn't ask it's name. Looks too much like a mouse to me. I was happy to be a few continents away for this event.

 Playing play-doh at Sevil Hala's house.

 Walking along the street and stopping to smell the flowers...

 ...and pose.

 Market Day.

 Chilling at home.

 Gardening with Babanne.

 La putting in the hard work...

 ...while Leyla watches from above.

 Sami.

 Ellis had a little birthday party during the holiday.

 The icecream cake a little melted after the candles.

 Happy Birthday Ellis!

And some more play-doh action.

And they're off! Everyone traveled well on the mega-multi-leg trip to get down to Antalya.

 All set and ready to go...

 ...improvising the headphones so they fit a smaller head.

 On the bus in Dubai to the hotel.

 Mega Hot (as in weather) Holiday Inn. Apparently it was 45C when they arrived in the UAE.

 Entertaining the kids in the hotel gym.

 Dubai Airport.

 Catching Flies to get to Istanbul.

 Another short flight to Antalya and finally arrived at their destination! Just in time for Babanne's brothers' visit.

 He was affectionately referred to as Dede 2. (Grandpa No 2)

 Off to the park with Babanne.
