Dress ups

Just like his big sister (and just like his Mum) Harry still loves to dress up. This is one of Hollys birthday presents we gave her, and they both love it!

Another year in Moama

Our holiday season is now definately over :(

We had such an awesome week in Moama and can't wait until next year.

It is seriously the best and most relaxing holiday ever. There is so much for the kids to do and the weather always seems to be percect!

The boys this year did two stints on their rubber dingys down the Murray - with a beer dingy in tow and all!

The kids xx

I organized a treasure hunt for the kids and it had them running all around for clues

and Andrew organized a disco on the last night - glow stick, sparklers and all!!!

A very HOT afternoon at Billabong Ranch

On our last day in Moama we ventured out of the park and went in search for Billabong Ranch.

It was so much fun for the kids, so many animals, so little time! It actually wasn't a time factor, but more a heat factor that made us leave, it was about 40 degrees & no shade - HOT HOT HOT!

This was the cutest little barn, it had all the baby animals. We were all in heaven playing with the little puppies, kittens, guinea pigs, kangaroos, chickens, rabbits and geese.

Harry loved the little bluey.

Hollys favourite was definately the kitten

Meet Custard.

Holly had her very first Pony ride.

She absolutly loved it!

Andrew was very scared that she was going to start asking for a pony.

Harry was not so sure of the pony ...
nope, he didn't like him at all.

He managed to keep it together for a short ride though.

A birthday well celebrated!

Holly was well and truly spoilt rotten this year. Nanny and Pa and Aunty Pol and Marley have all just left us and gone home. We had a jam packed few days and lots of fun. We miss you all already xx
Taking birthday calls.

Yesterday the four of us piled in the car for a BIG girls day out to see .... MARY POPPINS!!!

It was so much fun, we had a quick bite to eat at the cellar bar, then walked around to Her Majestys Theatre. The show was amazing. The sets were unlike no other, it was a great show (My sister and I have decided we want to star in musicals - despite our complete lack of singing and dancing skills!) Holly loved it - especially when Mary Poppins flew over the audience! She lasted really well until about the last 15 minutes when she got very restless (it was a 3 hour show!).

By the way we are all rugged up and it was slightly cold (freezing according to the Queenslanders) however today it was so hot the air conditioner went on!

Happy Birthday Moo!

Kissing the nearest boy!

A NEW BIKE!!

Holly and her new purple bike! She was amazing, never having had ridden a bike before she jumped on and rode all the way to Knox and back! She did such a good job!

Pa and I were next to her the whole way (apart from me trying to document her entire first ride!)

This is Phar Lap aka Alexander aka Samuel ( he changes names regularly!). We ride past this horse (who lives out the front of the paint shop) every time I ride Holly to kindy on the bike. She has been asking me for ages if she can hope on top and have a ride. I kept telling her, one day when Daddy is with us, maybe! Well, Pa was up to the challenge! She jumped off her bike and sat on the horse!

Birthday Morning

What a beautiful little 4 year old
Holly woke up to a treasure hunt to find her bike! She is still saying it was the best part of her birthday!
