So in case you didn't know, all the Dunphys went on holiday together for a week this year. We went to a very strange house in spain - the sitting room and kitchen were at the top of the house, the bedrooms for Mammo and me and Ella and Mammy and Daddy and Emma and Jamie and Clare were downstairs. Ross and Mark and Jill and the baby in Jill's tummy stayed in an apartment underneath our house and down even more stairs there was a swimming pool.

It was good fun knowing loads of people on the plane. Everyone except Ross was on the plane with us. We were near the back near Mark and Jill but then we found Mammo and the others in the middle of the plane so we were able to run up and down to them to check what was going on.

When we got to Spain we all had to go to find our cars. We had a big car for our family - plenty of room for our luggage and then after we got there and took the luggage out we were able to make 2 extra seats so sometimes we could bring 6 people in our car altogether. That was cool although I think Clare probably got the coolest car.

I had to look after Clare on holidays. She loved being wrapped up in my blankie and she loved me showing her how to play with toys. At least I think she loved it...

There was a lot of eating on holidays - food in the car, picnics, barbecues in our house and dinners in restuarants. You can get lovely food on holidays - they have the same hot dog in Spain that they had in Portugal last year but they don't set it on fire.

One evening Daddy and Ross tried to burn all the food on a fire but it was actually very tasty. Everyone came outside and we sat out there until it was drak but in Spain it's very warm even after it's dark. I like being able to eat outside with all my family.
