Beach Party!!!

My 21st birthday party was a ball on the weekend...Anna, being the official photographer to the birthday star hopefully will post a piccy soon!
The day started at 730am at Windward Passage as we picked the perfect party location as we looked out from the balcony. We hired a slow slow slow 7 person bbq boat (minus the bbq), loaded it up with beach balls, a kiddies pool, 8 umbrellas, 1 main shade, drinks and nibbles, leis and sombreros and what seemed like a tonne of other stuff and headed off to party island. Unfortunately we discovered that the fantastic island location we picked would come at a much bigger cost than expected...that is about a 50m trek across sand hills...not quite the pleasant walk Steven and I recalled taking on our recent holiday at Caloundra, especially when you are lugging the above mentioned party accessories!
Following the long wait for a very slow returning boat (captained by the handsome Dean) and a hike through the sand we had all arrived and the construction of the beach slip 'n' slide began - for about 30mins we watched the dreams of 10 young men unfold as they carefully moulded out the perfect slip 'n' slide down the beach while the girls relaxed in the kiddies pool under the shade of our sombreros! Unfortunately due to severe abrasions to the stomach the slide closed after about 6mins and the footy began.
A beautiful steak hamburger, watermelon, chips, choccies and cake for lunch and my beach party dreams were complete - big thanks to mum and dad for missing half the party to prepare it all (not planned very well)! It was an awesome day but yet somehow for the muscular pain it caused I don't think it will ever be repeated again! I'm sure my obliging friends and family only love me so much!
