April and...

https://youtu.be/iy-VfIZ205g

During this lovely month of April 2019 John and Rockie invited us to sail to Melbourne, take in a dinner, stay overnight and return the following day. Great fun, great company.
Amelia came for a sleepover. We got in plenty of beach time. Two days in fact. First day we explored Torquay western side with rock pools and wading in the water. The following day we found a little natural dam as the tide went out at the Eastern end. Soo fun.

This is the month that Casey moved into her new appartment in Ocean Grove.

Owen's Fourth Birthday at Melbourne Zoo.

Regan did a great job organising a fantastic birthday celebration for Owen. It started with a 10:00 am Saturday morning start at Melbourne Zoo and finished with Sunday lunch and a beaut four candle chocolate cake at the Yacht Club.

We all met outside the main gate where 'zoo' bags, made up by Regan, were given out to the kids. The bags were full of delights including special binoculars, i spi sheets and a big favourite... cookies in the theme of zoo animals professionally made by Meredith.

An obligatory coffee (for the adults) then off to see the animals. Taking on the role of expedition leader Owen navigated around the exhibits like a professional, never covering the same track twice and at a pace which kept the group scurrying.

We lost the obligatory one boy somewhere around the Butterfly Enclosure but reunited him with his Mum upon mounting a successful search party.

Some pics below. Happy Birthday Owen.

Sorry Gran, Too busy. I'm off to the Zoo.

Must see Giraffe

Dad, there is a bug on your shoulder

Meercats being photogenic. These guys know how to pose for the camera

A short break from Owen's gruelling pace.

Do you think this makes my butt look big?

A very funny set of pics. Hope I don't have to delete this post when Alannah gets older.

To set the scene; Mom using her brand new sewing machine made up a beautiful pair of 'Jamie's for Alannah, the following pics were taken. Gaye was responsible for a sequence of very funny comments on Facebook. What are your comments?

A Birthday Pressie from Sydney Cousins

What a surprise, Owen went to the post office this morning with Mom and Alannah and in the post office box there was a note from the postman to come inside and collect a parcel. How exciting. The Post lady had a big colorfully decorated parcel for Owen. It had love hearts and lady birds on it and also lots of really nice drawings. It was from his cousins in Sydney - Maddie and Mia.
Inside there were lots of really cool things like a art carousel, and cards and stickers. What FUN.
Thank you Maddie and Mia and Aunty Vic and Uncle John.
