A Busy Week

It has been very busy for us entertaining Kate, Arj and family.  They arrived at our home around midday on Tuesday.  They had a 'hire car' so drove themselves up from Brisbane where they had been staying.

The pool has been a major success for the kids.  The weather has been spectacular, warm and sunny, but the pool is still struggling to warm up despite the constant use.

Sometimes you would wonder if there was more water in the pool than out of it.

But the kids have loved it and mum and dad enjoyed the odd swim as well.

There was another morning when we headed to the beach.  Being holiday time however the beach was a popular spot.  Car parking was at a premium.  But everyone enjoyed getting out in the warm sunshine.

We also have the new playground over at Bells Reach which is a major feature of the new estate there.  It is a sensational spot for kids.  Not a day goes by without an hour or two at the "Big Park".

Then there are the other kids who live round about us in our street. This has been another source of entertainment for our two grandkids.

They have had a great time which has been helped by weather in the low 30's each day.  A cool change came through this morning so it should only get to 28 today!

BBQ's have been then order of the day when it comes to eating!

Though yesterday we all went to Headland Golf Club along with friends Kerrie and Ian.  The food was great and well priced, the view from our table was spectacular!

This morning they are off to "Aussie World" which is a water fun park nearby.  It isn't in the same class as the theme parks on the Gold Coast but the queues are much shorter and the costs a lot less.  For two small kids, it is perfect!

Drinks this afternoon is at our place and may be a smaller than usual affair.  Being holiday time, John and Margaret are entertaining family as well.

Tomorrow is the footy grand final so all eyes will be glued to the TV.  Hot pies, hot dogs and cleansing ales will be the order of the day!
