Overdose on beach

If you are not taking part in the Monopoly championship at the local Mall then there is no other place to be than the (Aspendale) beach as it's what they do here, beach and BBQ. After three days of solid 43+ degrees (nights dropped to 28 at 3am) we went to the beach, early I might add and what do you know, there was not a fly in sight. Karli is learning to body-board and daddy and mommy are trying to remember what to do on a beach (it's all coming back) while Marti just smiles and gets on with being 1.

2009 starts as 2008 ends

Another year starts much the same as it ended. We had our first 40 degree day so the boys enjoy keeping cool in the pool or just sitting under the trees licking ice lollies.

We went to the Melbourne Aquarium to see the new penguin attraction, it was a lovely day and we got a good shot of the city. We headed towards Mornington again but stopped off in Frankston at the funfair, Karlie had his first ride on the big wheel and the tea cups and for once we forgot the camera!

We finally made some space in the 'box room' and set up the Thomas train set again after over a year. The boys had great fun, especially Martin, he just watched in amazement as Thomas is his favourite at the moment.
