Christmas & New Year Adventures


We have just come back from 2 weeks camping in South Australia on two of the most beautiful beaches, Coffin Bay and Memory Cove.

William had a absolute ball - he caught his first fish and handled many others - not scared in the slighest. He ran on the beach with the other kids - got very very dirty in the soft powered dirt and learn't loads of new words.

He has two new teeth, got an infection in his toe and on his hand from cuts which both cleared up really quickly and slept very well snuggling in at the end of each day, rising early for more adventures.

He tried Abolone for the first time and prompty called "more" to the delight of the crowd. He charmed everyone in the group with kisses and "nigh night" and waves each bedtime.

Paul made a birthday cake for me and William licked the mixer whilst covered in dirt. The in car DVD player was worth every penny - William was great for the 18 or so hours it took to get there and another 20 hours back!! He did better than me, that's for sure!!
He had loads for adventures, but I'll let the pictures tell you the rest - Enjoy!

I think I'll be a fisherman like Daddy, but Mark caught this one!

Shall I give him a kiss Mummy?

Thanks Mark - I'll take it from here!

Can I wind it in now Daddy?

Catch of the Day

Does this rod suit me?
Mackeral - caught by Mark

Look at my fish Mummy
William's first catch - Garfish

No, not fish for dinner - Roast Lamb Birthday Dinner

Is this hat too big for me?

This is serious stuff - Bob is building a house

Sums up the holiday really - happy hour on the beach

Fresh caught Abolone - cooked three different ways for Happy hour at Memory Cove.

Happy hour for William too - Chippies!

Mum won't be happy when she see's me.

Oh well, what can she do - ground me?

What's more dirt - I have it everywhere already!


I think I might be in trouble
Yummy - Cake!!
