FINALLY, A FISH!

This is Shelly and I at the Pine Creek Races, enjoying a cool beverage and waiting for the racing to begin.

Lynne came to stay for 3 weeks in May/June. Here are Laura and Lynne cooling off in the backyard bath.
One night we went to watch the sunset from the Dripstone cliffs with Susan (a friend from work) and her hubby Marty. Here is the beautiful view we were enjoying!
We went for a second try at Douglas Daly Tourist Park while Lynne was up, it was much better with no rain and a lovely time had by all. Craig, Nate and Surrinder all came. Shelly was supposed to be there but wasn't well and couldn't make it. Unfortunately for Shelly we were also celebrating her birthday and had to eat the cake without her, mmmm, yummy! We had a swim both mornings in the hot springs and it was so relaxing you really did not want to get out. The food was scrumptious and after the roast lamb and vegies Caz cooked in the camp oven we will definately be buying one of those when we get home.
What a picture of domestic bliss, food and warmth all in one!
Here are our beautiful girls Laura and Micaelia.
Caz tried her hand at catching a barra, but no luck. I didn't put in the one where Caz is up to her knees in the murky water!
But STEVO GOT ONE!!! Craig brought his boat up and he, Chris and the two boys went out on the Daly river for the day. This was the only one they got to keep but I was impressed. At last! It's in the freezer at the moment, waiting for Don and Bett to come up and help us eat it.
So that has been our exciting life for the last month or so. Only 2 days left until school finishes for a month of holidays, boy I can hardly wait. Good news is Bett and Don are coming up for 2 or 3 weeks and will help out a little while Chris and I have to work, how nice is that!! They just sent a text message to say they are leaving Port Augusta now, so won't be all that far away. Kids are very excited and miss Grandma and Grandpa a lot. Hope they travel safely, and to anyone else out there on the road also, have fun and be safe xxx
