HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY


I went away camping on the weekend with some friends. Sue & Les. It's the first time we have taken Basil and camped with no power. GREENS LAKE, COROP.
Thank you Sue and Les for a fun time. I'm so glad we finally got to get away with you. Hope there will be more fun times in the future.
Camp is all set up 
Trying to stay in the shade
It went ok. BUT our new generator wasn't powerful enough for what we wanted. Luckily our friends could help us out.... Now we have to sell the generator and buy a bigger one.
We did some Kayaking.... That was fun.
Don't we look the part. Best part is we didn't fall out.....
The grandchildren came for a visit and had fun swimming.
All knitted up with life jackets. Thanks Michelle.

The boys having fun
Xavier & Nicholas 

Sue and I did some sewing. Sue is doing HEXIES and I started on my Gail Pan stitchery.

Here we are hard at work... I think we have got some sun 
Sue's hexagons are growing and are going to look fantastic

Then I went on the couch ride at the back of their friends boat. Now that was fun...
I am fitted with a life jacket. Oh no!!!!! Will I need it?
We have take off
Look at my smile

Look at this beautiful view. The sun is setting and you can see the moon... Just beautiful.....
Can you see the moon as the sun is setting
HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY EVERYONE......
Everyone had their flags flying

You certainly had a great time. Our neighbours have family from Australia staying so yesterday they flew the Aussie flag and played and sang your National Anthem. French horn and drums. A rousing start to the day!
