What I missed.....................

Well i have come to the conclusion that I don't blog anywhere near what I want to. It has also come to my attention that I have missed lots of things that I wanted to share with you, so I am going to do one post as a quick catch up so I can start fresh in the new year. Who knows I might keep a bit more upto date. Then again maybe at the end of next year you'll get another catch up post.

Anyway this is what I missed telling you.

I found some new signs.

We visited Royal National Park.

The clouds brewing the the distance on the above photo turned into this....

 

It was an awesome drive home.

We went to Kiama to met penpals from Korea.

We did a fair bit of traveling and bushwalking.

Carrington Falls.

Minamurra Rainforest water falls

We found lots of termite mounds on our walks.

We also did a bit of camping. This was at Sandy Hollow during our October holidays.

Christmas 2010

25th December 2010

Well I hope everyone had a great christmas day. We had a very quiet day at home.

We did walk ourselves up to the church on the corner at 8:30am to go to their church service. It was an interesting service taken by the Grinch. Yes you read right. That green creature by Dr. Zeus, popped in and told everyone about the first grinch of Christmas.

Anyway we were back home at 9:30 to make a mess.

 

Miss Z did an excellent job on Hubby's present. She cross stiched onto a black cap for him.

 

By far the best present according to Miss E was her new bike.

 

At least the sun was out, which ment that she got hubby and Master J out for some races.

 

I guess it didn't matter as much after this that we ate too much for lunch..

 

Yeha

Monday 27th December 2010

The Rodeo has come to town, and after being washed out for the last two years in a row it was looking like the same might happen again. However the rain stopped so the show could start.

We arrived at around 4pm and left at 6:40pm when the rain decided that it had held off long enough.

we got to see the junior steer riding, team roping and barrel racing.Oh and I almost forgot we did get to see the steer wrestling as well. Master J was upset that we didn't stick around for the adult steer riding, but I didn't want to get any wetter than what I already was.

So here are some of the photo's that I got of what we saw.

Nan and Pop's 60th Wedding Aniversary Weekend

September 10-12th, 2010

Friday 10th we braved the weather to drive down to Wangaratta for a very special weekend.

 The flooding in Wangaratta peaked on the Wednesday, so had gone down alot by Friday when we arrived. Still it wasn't down to normal levels yet.

 This is the Ovens River near the caravan park were we stayed. The river should be on the other side of the trees that you can see in the water.

 This guy was totally cut off. As you can see his yard is very small at the moment. Good for getting out of mowing.

 This shows how much high the water was only 2 days ago. This bit of wood has been wedged inbetween 2 tree as it was hurled along by the raging waters.

Saturday 11th

As the weekend was a surprise for Nan and Pop we chose to make ourselves disappear on Sabbath. What better way than going out to Bright.

 Here we are playing follow the leader. Uncle B was our fearless leader. As he was the local we all hoped he knew where he was going, cause we didn't. Brother S and his family were 2nd in charge. Mum and Dad 3rd and we followed up the end.

 After having a great BBQ at Bright we called back into the Red Stag, a deer farm, for the kids to feed the local. We got to admire the views. Look at all that snow.

 This is a very rare sight. Sister M with no tongue.

Sunday 12th, 2010.

The Big day. Nan & Pop's 60th Wedding aniversary.

 It was only a half surprise as someone let the cat out of the bag. But it was still a surprise as to who was actually coming. Nan and Pop walked into the church hall to the wedding March played by me.

 After a very yummy lunch of soup and sticky date puddings, it was time to cut the cake.

Then it was family photo time.

 

You will notice the Master J isn't exactly happy on the floor. He was feeling rather overwelmed by all the girl germs.

Thats all folks.
