25th and 26th January 2009 Australia Day.

Happy Australia Day Everyone!

An early start for the holidays, we made it to Fremont park for the 8am breakfast. We were suprised at how many others were there at this time and joined the queue of about 200 people for the BBQ.

James was excited when he was recognised by one of the volunteers, a little athletics Nanna, also the kids were stopped by numerous friends from god knows where. I have realised we have popular kids.

We sat on the dry ground which was hard to find a spot amongst the bull ants to eat our bacon and egg sandwhich, which really made us feel Aussie.

After breakfast we walked around to look at some of the old cars, queued up again for the balloon man, face painter and the drink stand. We decided that we would not go to the next spot today as we are just sick of so many people, it would be more comfortable at home.

Up to mums for a quick drink then back home.

Just a few of the wonderful volunteer's.

My little Aussie beauties!

At night I sat and looked at my diary and calander again, trying to work out why we never have any time to do the things we want. Sitting there I worked out the days the kids were supposed to be at Santos for Little Athletics, those days we hate, so I scheduled in fun things instead. We booked holiday's, downloaded some maps, all those fun things.

We also looked at the face painting course in more detail, and booked Tony into it, that way he gets his kit and knows what he is doing, I will no doubt pick it all up quick again just with some practice. We put him in balloon animals aswell, all for March. So life is looking rosy, busy but rosy.

25th January.

Was just a quiet day at home, tidying etc. We finally finished the big house clean by doing the Dining room.
