Holidays - It's been a while




Well, time has been making like a bird lately. Thought it about time i put a couple of pics up of the camping thing, i have more than these which i will add, if not tonight, then soon (as wasting a wee bit of time at work shhhhhh).



(Isaac enjoying sitting in Dad's chair)


A bit about the holiday - as you may know we had to break up the camping into two parts, partly due to me having to be at work and partly due to availability of camping site. So, first part was great except had stroms every night so just after the sun went down we were stuck inside for a few hours, but al least we woke up to beautiful days. I think the storms actually did the tent good, as aparently they need to be worn in with water and sun to help them become water-tight.



The second spell was great weather was much nicer, no storms, so could sit out at night and talk and play games.


(the Tent)




Anyway we spent a lot of the time on the beach swimming and boggy-boarding, building sand castles and of course burying ecah other up to our ears, in some cases a bit higher, fishing was great too all the boys caught fish, little Angle(type) fish in the river at the end of the beach, we went snorkling, Man it is amazing what is in there when your swimming around, was very cool, and generally eating loads of sasuages, burgers and the like all cooked by yours truely on the new $45 barging BBQ. Did not want to come home at the end of it, even though was very nice to have a warn shower and sleep without the sand everywhere.

(Isaac, don' think he changed, not wanting to leave)
Well, will put more up later of fish and swimming etc etc and maybe if your lucky of new years eve, which we managed to see in.

Christmas Holidays

Just got back from 3 days camping down at Kingscliff and all are very tired, had an absolute ball playing in the waves and snorkling around the bays (with my present Santa bought me). We had a couple of storms come through at night and the tent held up very well, is always nice to wake up to a sunny morning the next day however. I will organise some photos when we get back next time (as we are going back again on Sunday for 4 nights).
In the mean time i hope all have a wonderfull new years eve and we will catch you next year !!!

Christmas Update



It’s almost Christmas time and I don’t know about you lot, but we sure as hell are looking forward to a bit of time off, heading down to Kingscliff for 28th and 29th, and from 3rd through to 7th Jan also, camping in the beachfront Caravan park. Beautiful beach and very laid back little seaside town, see pic.







We havn’t been doing a great deal, a couple of pics of Isaac playing cricket and me at my work Christmas party so you don’t forget what we look like.
















Well, that's a bit of news for you, will be having Christmas morning at home, or close by (at Tanja’s) then heading down to Tanja’s parents place for the afternoon to relax by the pool and generally soak up the Christmas sunshine. OK One last Pic of Me a Tan at a Mexican Party a few weeks back.
