FAMILY COME TO STAY

We had Russell, Heather, Darion and Bodean come and stay with us for a week!! It was SO good to see them! Here's a few snaps. 

Spoilt with goodies!!!
Teaching Bo to use the coffee machine ;-) 

We used Darions talent while he was here and started on the babies change table that Reon's making.
Re, Darion and I spent a day over at Maggie Is. while Russell, Heather and Bo went to a wildlife park. 
Walking to hire scooters for the day. 
Lunch at Horseshoe Bay

Reon and Darion
Me on my pretty pink scooter that I putted along on!! I haven't ridden a scooter before so I was left in the boys dust. After just hiring them the boys took off leaving me to figure it out for myself. They kindly waited for me in a patch of sand off to the side of the road, but once I caught up to them and pulled in, I pulled on the brakes with out letting go of the throttle properly! So with the back wheel locked up and the throttle still on I started skidding all over the place - it seriously felt like I was on a bull. The boys were too busy laughing at me to tell me to take my throttle off but I finally managed to stop, without the bike on top of me!! 
Boys being boys - Eek I'm having one of those!! I swear I'll be grey by the time I'm 25!
Heading home on the ferry
Out for Indian!!
Bo and his meal of rice!

BABY MOON!!

We told Cam and Adrienne we were going on holiday and they said 'You're going on a baby moon?!' Apparently it's the new in thing to do, going on holiday before your babies due and calling it a baby moon! So we joined the other babymooners and headed up to Palm Cove for a few days (every 2nd women up there was sporting a baby bump.) It was utter bliss, everything a holiday should be - eating, reading, sleeping, walking, lying by the pool! We so enjoyed our time and here are a few pics so you can enjoy it too! :-) xx
