The Suprise

So anyway, Mum has been with us for a few days now and having a relaxing and enjoyable time. Spent Tuesday at Australia Zoo with all the boys, Tanja and Carl, then spent Wednesday afternoon lunching with Tanja's parents down at their home in Teviot Downs south of Brisbane.
Thursday night the suprise came, Dad (Evan) decided to pop in us from Greytown. This was a suprise to all but Tanja and I obviously, he had to get permission, Isaac was very excited to see Farfar and i think Mum was too, at least i think they were tears of joy.

We have got back from watching a few boys play soccer this morning, Tim lost 4-1, Jesse won 11-6, and Isaac won a tight game 2-1.

Sandy has now been officaly re-named, and is now know as Maddie (Madaline) due to her tendancy to be a little on the silly side on occasion (Mad-Dog) not unlike the late great Rambo (dog version),

Mum and Dad have just got out of the pool, pics of the mad Kiwi's will follow shortly.

Bye for now.

Great stuff Carl and Tanja! The tears of joy were real alright. Great to keep the secret for some two months. Jojo was informed from Wellington airport on the morning of my flight and didn't let on until 30 minutes after my landing in Brisbane (see Jojo's comments).

The CRV was parked at Leigh and Horsts in Newlands and Lisa drove over and picked me up and drove me to the airport. Great to have many friends 'in the know' and able to keep the secret. Picasso the 'big fat aged cat' is dining at his leisure thanks to John Gilberdthorpe from next door.

Home via Auckland for me on 23rd and for Sam direct 23rd also.

Lovely stay with Carl, Tanja and the boys. For the record the girls beat the boys at barefoot bowls 13 to 9 after 15 ends. Tanja's Mum and Dad (Birgette and Rolf), Evan and Sally and Carl and Tanja made up the teams.

That's all for now, Evan the Dad
