1st Spring "Weekend" Day

After 5 days of food poisoning, it was great to have a warm weekend where the kids could go wild.... WOW - Australia is really the place of the drone but man it's a good place to live. This weekend was busy with cleaning up the house (looks like Steptoe and Son) and taking the kids out..... Karl an I went out Saturday while Martin was on a "play-day" and Sunday was Golf and afternoon craziness. We are all looking forward to summer....... Boat, beach, and BBQ.



Slip and Slide

Melbourne Show 2017

Back again, another year and much of the same but if you take away the predictability and just enjoy it for what it is, man, it's a lot of fun. Martins friend Larry came with and the boys had a great time playing with the animals, eating and going on all types of rides. At the end it's all about the showbags.




Fun cost $'s

Tweenager

How the years fly : Was it yesterday that he was born - Seems like yesterday. I think that George and I just want the boys to grow up happy and have as many experiences as possible so they question everything and are able to develop true objectivity....... but for now, we'll just eat cake.

Birthday Boy

Buller 2017

It was the second skiing holiday of the year and the 2nd to Mount Buller. Man, going off-season works a treat on the wallet but to give the boys the memories and the skills it's priceless. It's like those I remember all the holidays with my parents with fondness as nothing can compare to the chaos and exuberance of foreign uncharted adventures. The boys can ski...... and it makes dad and mom very proud. Junior decided to give day 2 a miss to chill with mom who is on a ski break until she can get some private lessons with Hermann Maier. Global Warming was in full effect with spring temperatures below zero and well above average snowfall...... BEST in 25 Years.



Austrians are good skiers

Climbing and finding gold

Another fun-filled weekend where the boys got to have a great time. Saturday we went too Tunzafunxtreme to meet my boetie van die Kaap and let the boys, and girl, climb wild. After that we got home in time for Martins friend who came round for dinner (Crust Pizza), roasted marshmallows and Fifa17. Sunday came and Martin was off to golf followed by a tasty lunch at The Garden of Good and Evil in Cheltenham. We then headed off to the beach to find gold with our new metal detector (next time we'll bring a spade). Off skiing again soon so fingers crossed for more of that lovely global warming we are having here in Australia.
