dolphins on Christmas morning

same pod of dolphins that was responsible for the body slamming of some poor woman the next morning, only they weren't doing any aerobatics for us here, just some sedate swimming...

bike ride in the rain

marine Parade in the rain... the hot chocolate afterwards was well deserved!

Uncle Cole's Tree house

you cant get me up here uncle cole!

visit to the aquarium

yep, if you ever come across a shark that is bigger than you Ella, just poke it in the eye...

back on line!

had a bad month with updating the blog, for starters it has been the silly season which is a good excuse for not keeping up to date with the blog, and then there was the horror of a blank computer screen where there was once lots of non-backed up files and photos!!! thankfully i have managed to get it back up and running after 2-3 weeks of stress about taking it into the shop and getting it back with a blank hard-drive... turns out i didn't need to take it to the shop after all, i managed to get into the system and delete the broken bits and it seems to be running fine again for the time being.
back up photos is the job for tomorrow...
that will also give me a chance to update a few of the last months worth of photos onto the blog.

BBQ at Glen and Kates

had a great BBQ at Glen and Kates today, helped break in the brand new BBQ! (helped get it dirty, and then left...) Ella had a great time playing with all Tom and Joe's toys, and as a special treat Ella got IceCream! but why do they make it so cold!!! Ella kept shovelling it in, but then grabbing her mouth as it must have been making her teeth hurt!!! Ice cream headaches all round...

dont ask who dressed me thismorning

Talking on the phone to Bam-ma
and there may have been issues with getting dressed thismorning.
