New bikes (2)

The first bike rides.......and probably the most important advice Hannah will hear for some time.

New Bikes!

New "grown-up" bikes for their birthday!  Thanks to Marcus, Stephen, Mags and Sandra.

What time does Andy Murray go to bed?

Ten-ish.

Beds are over-rated.

Meep Meep

A reminder of the old days in the Middle East. We still see some pretty unusual things in Australia, but this sort of thing would be entirely common. Notice the lack of regard for any sort of traffic regulation as the chasing cars rush to catch up, and the 4x4 that seems to be intent on trying to 'herd' the poor cretaure with his vehicle. The ostrich has more sense than most of the drivers.

Easter Break in Mollymook with Matt & Tanya Boys, Chris & Jules Gordon and assorted children (9 in total from 7 to 2 years). Back row: Sunny, Tilly and Poppy Gordon, Ellie Boys. Front Row: Thomas, Zach, Hannah, Lachlan and Anneka Boys.

Weather was beautiful for most of the week, and plenty of time to get down to the beach. Hannah, Thomas and Anneka the pressure of working with one of the world's leading sandcastle experts.

Poppy shows Zach how to stand up on a surf board. Now he just has to get the nerves to actually go in the water.Ellie and PoppyThe view down the beach with the Bogey Hole in the distance.

And out to the surf - and this is a low surf day.

And if you look carefully, you can see the dolpins playing just beyond the surf. At least, I hope they are dolphins...................

4th Birthday Party

It's a 4th brithday Super Hero party, and everyone is invited! There is only one a year, so even in Australia we have to make sue Brithday time is three times as good.


The wonderful Caz has gone to effort of making special superhero capes for the boys, which they adore.

Hannah finds time for a quick power drink before things get started.

Kate has arranged Treasure hunt in the garden (hopefully no-one finds the dead lorikeet I chucked in there a few weeks ago).

The lovely Bella Leighton helps Zach in his search. Bella was wonderful in helping out during the day. If only we could bottle some of her temperment.

Princess Hannah shows her findings.

Kate's cousin Barb helped by cooking some of her legendary sausage rolls. I had my eye on some for dinner, but no luck.

Fellow triplets enjoy the 'roller coaster'. There are now two 4" deep gashes down our lawn.

Finally, it is cake time.

Thanks to two of our 'helpers' - Olivia Leighton and Tatti.
