Australia Day Party

We had lots of fun at our Australia Day party yesterday. Lots of good food, lots to drink and lots of friends to catch up with.

It was an interesting start to the day as the tarp that Nath, Peter Laslo and Darren set up the previous afternoon had not only fallen down in the morning, it had broken an awning and bent a tentpole at 90 degrees. Hmm... engineers??

It also didn't help that it rained on and off during the day so we were running for cover a bit but I think everyone had a good time and for those who left before dessert (I know who you are!) I am saving some pavlova for you. Not to mention the fruit flan that Ann brought and the chocolate dipping sauce from Kath.

How was the food Nath?

The remaining party goers in the arvo...

Nath's parents

I'm not sure I want to admit to being related to this lot - my brother Darren and Mum & Dad.

Peter & Peta Laslo

Am I cute Mum?

I shouldn't have had that 10th beer!

Day at the Tweed

We had another wonderful day down at the Tweed last weekend with the Laslo's and their 2 dogs - Abbey and Rocco.

They're just about my size Mummy..

Day at Maleny

Beware, crazed turkeys inhabit the land around the lake.

Nathan, ever fearless, chased the mad beast from the picnic site before it could pick up baby Jayden and carry him off for winter dinner.

For the last day before Nath went back to work we made a trip up to Maleny, Montville & Mapleton. We had a lovely picnic and it wasn't too hot which was good. We had lunch at Lake Baroon and minus the ants and a few flies was very enjoyable. Jayden was good and was fascinated with the grass.

The poor little guy didn't get much in the way of sleep just a couple of 30mins naps in the car so he was a bit sick of the car in the end but it was a lovely day.
