LONG weekend





Hi ho everyone. We're home safely. Was really great to talk to you the other night dad. Grandma and I both commented on how clear you were (guessed that was from your mobile phone - excellent reception).
The weekend started for us on Friday when Calvin and I went and saw Natalie's class running the school assembly (Natalie is the 'g' in the picture, and as well as holding up the sign she sang along with the class presentation of a swimming song). The whole school has been doing swimming lessons all last week and Natalie has been enjoying that very much. Because of this we collected Natalie from the swimming pool and headed off to Adelaide. The kids were very excited that we were able to drop in at the Morton's house on the way down and have a play.
Saturday were went into the city to get Natalie's ballet uniform and then we had a look around the museum (the kids really liked this), then we spent way too much at Koorong! Was great to catch up with the Hogbens in the arvo and we had a lovely tea with the Brocks that night before heading out to a Pirates and Princesses 21st party (see pics).
Sunday we traveled to Crystal Brook (the kids traveled up with Nanna, Aunty Heth and Sam which was lovely) where the Kitto family was gathering due to Grandpa Kitto's failing health (no updates, so we assume that he is remaining stable). Then we were off to Orroroo where we had a very lovely tea with Grandma Jean (though it was strange to stay there without mum and dad!). Caught up with Grandma again this morning and then traveled home (nice to be back with some of the day left to enjoy).
Hope that you have enjoyed your holiday Hogbens and that all of you in Lebanon had a lovely meal at the Masris yesterday. Love and hugs to you all.
Debbie.
