O Canada

Here are a few photos of my trip to Canada.
For those interested, we flew to Vancouver where we spent 3 nights, we then began our driving journey. We drove for 5-6 hours to Salmon Arm where we spent 1 night. The following day we drove for about 4-5 hours to Lake Louise, we spent 2 nights here at the Deer Lodge. Our journey continued to Banff again we spent 2 nights. I absolutely loved Banff it is a lovely tourist town amongst the rockies. The town is full of Aussie's and Kiwi's working but it was still lovely. Following our stay we drove about 1 hour to Calgary. I didn't really enjoy Calgary, there didn't seem to be much happening there, have now been told that Calgary is only worth going to during the stampede. After our 2 nights in Calgary we then flew back to Vancouver where we had 1 more night before flying back home.
I absolutely loved Canada and I'm now planning my next trip O.S. the toughest decision is working out where to go!
Cheers!

Cousins catch up in Townsville

Hello everyone

We had a lovely weekend gathering with the cousins up north. First of all we hit the footy match between broncos and cowboys. Chloe was a little vocal and embarrassing at points! Of course we were going for the Broncos and everyone around us was as well. Saturday we went to magnetic Island for the day..beautiful weather,.. the water was lovely. Saturday night Janine went to work and the rest of us went to Cowbys leagues club for dinner. On Sunday we checked out the Uni to see what it was like. Mitchell had a look at engineering (it was open day) then we went to the medical school and saw where Janine has her lectures. Then off to Janines Pad. . Very nice... by Uni standards I would say. Found out on the way home Garry and Tracy Wynn are leaving us at the end of the year. It was great to catch up with Stewarts after their Cape adventure on Tuesday night. Hope you like the pictures.

Strange White Bird over Dumfries

The bird flew around the block a couple of times and by the time I'd got my camera it had gone! A quick dash up the road and back brought in the culprits. It was lovely to have the Waltons call in ever so briefly at the start of their trans-Australia flight. After some lunch and stretching the legs, it was back to the plane for take off. I wasn't fast enough on the shutter to get them flying into the sunset! Ah well, there's always next time ...

Nana and Poppa are here!!

Nana and Poppa arrived Sunday afternoon after our church family camp. Chloe cooked us a delicious dinner of creamy pumpkin and pine nut pasta. It was good to not have to worry about dinner after unpacking from our camp. Nana has been busy shopping (for groceries) and cleaning! Poppa has been reading his book. There is card making stuff everywhere and soon Nana is going to start using it. Look OUT!
Only 8 and a half weeks of school till the holidays...YIPEE!

That Magnificent Man and His Flying Machine!!...

Dad's 50th

Can you believe it! He's 50!! We had a family night out going for Teppanyaki down at Morgan's. Heaps of fun!!

Sorry about seeing double. Couldn't see the first one 'published' today so did another one! Not so techno 'savvi' as the younger generation!

life in the country

New fashion trends out here by our city parents. Crocs with striped socks and 3/4 pants (someone forgot to pack more than 1 pair of jeans)!

Poppa's also enjoyed his past time of SKI

country visitors

Thought you might like to see the latest fashion brought to the country by the city people. Poppa's been painting and Nana's been card making in between planting out pansy plants.
