well we had a great time with mum and dad here, it was much more relaxing than visits in brissie seeing as there is nooone to see, and nothing to do!!haha! dad went on a hundred walks a day, mum did the house work and i.... did not much! now they can at least imagine our life here and hopefully understand why we like it so much!
we did go up to airlie beach for a lng weekend so that was really nice too.
the photos got all muddled up because of the 2 cameras and there are so many i cant be bothered fixing them sorry!!!

Justins boss' house











jay taught rubes to drive the 4 wheeler. he has been saying since we got up here that he wants to buy one, so obviously he is not afraid of them and can drive one with out crashing! mind you we would get a much smaller one! pity its so long till his birthday!!







there is a swing in the tree!































you know me, love evening sunlight! this caught my eye!



jay taking the boys to the creek on the motor bike



on their deck having a cookie!



had the morning in 'town' to get a dish washer, got jay to do the dishes yesturday morning and he got over it very fast! i wonder if i had got him to do them earlier i may have got a dishwasher sooner!!!!
anyway then we were invited to jays boss, jasons house for dinner, we got there pretty early in the afternoon andthe kids had a play in the creek by their house, it is a beautiful spot on the river and we had a great time and met some other people!
