BAIRNSDALE

We had a lovely time in Bairnsdale over the weekend. My parents went away for a few days and kindly offered for us to use their house for the weekend, so we did and took the Finno's with us. The weather was perfect the whole time we were there, we ate every meal outside, the kids played heaps outside and we got to go for a few trips around the place too. Friday night we all met in Traralgon for dinner at Pizza Hut then set off to Bairnsdale. We got there kinda lateish but once we sorted out where everyone was sleeping, we put the kids in bed and had a few drinkies. Saturday morning Nic and i left the boys and kids and went for a look around the town. Nic loved Mum and Dad's Shop with all the antiques and decided that she would rather work for them than me...hmph!!! After lunch we all headed to Paynesville, the boys all went fishing and the girls went to the park then on the ferry to Raymond Island for a wander and chat with the swans. Saturday night we had MORE drinks. Sunday we toodled off to Lakes to spend some time at the beach. The wind was a little chilly to put bathers on and go swimming, but having no bathers didn't stop the kids (or some of the big kids) from getting very wet. The kids LOVED playing in the water. Back for a bbq and more drinks (are we starting to sound like alcoholics???) We watched a few movies and had lots of laughs. It was probably about 2.30am before we got to bed, but well worth the late night ;) We headed back home on Monday. We had to be back in time for George to work in the afternoon so left about lunch time, which was actually just after we had breakfast, LOL. We had an awesome time hanging out with the Finno's as usual. Nic wasn't feeling well before we left and i know she wasn't feeling the best while we were away either, but I am so glad they still had a little holiday with us. Thanks for a good weekend guys and thanks Mum and Dad for the house. George is working again tonight, this time in Moe, so its not so bad, but tomorrow is Wonthaggi so he has to stay overnight. Bugger that i have to work Thursday cause the kids and I would have gone with him other wise. So i will be home alone again tomorrow night, luckily this week is his last week of working nights, so we will be back to normal soon. OK, thats about it from me, i will leave you with a few of my fave pics from the weekend. I have HEAPS and I am working my way through processing them all so i don't have many to share yet, but i will have more soon. I took these in the garden at mum and dads, this tree gets perfect light for photos, i love it. And i remembered today that i have a photo of Jacob in the same tree (about 3 years ago) that i scrapped, and that LO was my first ever publication....might have to scrap these ones and go for another publication in the tree ;) Ok, cya's all later.
