What a busy weekend. On Saturday we helped Grandad celebrate his actual 80th birthday and Sunday was the BIG bash at the Pines. Was a nice opportunity to have family photos and I'm looking forward to seeing the final result (surprisingly we didn't take any photos on Sunday). Was nice to be able to stay with the Hogben's even if we only saw them briefly. The kids always like spending time with cousins Annie and Isaac (though Isaac had a friend over so Annie had to do most of the entertaining).
We then headed up to Orroroo and enjoyed listening to the rain ALL day Monday (and all through the night to Tuesday morning). As you can see Calvin enjoyed the puddles. [24mls when we left this morning] Not sure what was happening in Orroroo but the rain certainly stayed with us over in Gladstone today (rained all day there) and we were rained on all the way home and it has only recently stopped here (had to do my shopping in the rain this arvo)!
Tired now, love to all.
