Family Holidays Fun

Goodness me what a busy time we have had! We got home this morning after a wonderful extended long weekend away. Mike and Jack are on two weeks school holidays and we are making the most of our time.

We spent Saturday watching the Grand Final with friends here in town. That was great fun and we got home and packed to go away with other friends (aren't we popular!!.) We drove down to Mandurah very early Sunday morning and spent that night with the Jenkinsons and the Broads. We jammed so much into the 24 hours such as fishing, swimming at the beach, bbqing, fish and chips and ice cream on the foreshore, staying up late and chatting and generally having a wonderful time. Nothing like special friends to rejuvenate the soul. The kids had a ball with the other kids there. I hope we get the chance to go to the Jenkinsons holiday home again soon.







Then we drove back to Perth on the Monday and went to the Perth Royal Show in the afternoon. It was wonderful and we went with Mikes parents as we do every year on the holiday Monday. The show was wonderful - the numbers we down on the day we went which was great. And we stayed for the fireworks and that was amazing. Really well done. lollies, games, rides, show bags and the usual splurges were had and we got back to Mikes parents place about 10pm. The kids and us were well and truely done. I love the show! Its a great day out.
