Running out of time!

We are half way thru' August already, only 3 weeks left in Darwin! Where did the last 8 months go? Madly trying to jam everything into these last few days so life is a little hectic, but with Caz - what's new?!! Ha ha. Feeling a little sad, but also very excited to be hitting the road again. Love waking up in our beautiful big blue bus with Chris and the kids, wondering where we will go and what will we see that day. It really is a fantastic life on the road, you should all try it.



So what's news?



Had Caz's "baby shower/girl's get together" in the Casino at the Sandbar. We got our own little secluded area to enjoy our high tea and cocktails, it was very swish.
Our cocktails came in these little tea pots, they were sooo cute!

Here are the boozers: Janelle, Deb, Shelly, Caz, Krystal and Surrinder. Missing are Caz's mum Meryl and her friend Cathy who nipped off to the markets for a stroll.
Janelle and I sharing our pot of "tea". Check out the lovely orchid in my hair!



Kids have both had sleepovers this month for birthday parties. Both came home with their eyes hanging out of their heads but had lots of fun! They have made some wonderful friends, we have been really happy with their time here at Wanguri school.



Another day the family went and had a look at the Darwin Beer Can Regatta, held on Mindil Beach. As you can see the boats really are made from beer cans and some were much more sea worthy than others.

The Bunning's boat was one of the more professional looking fit-outs, but didn't get to see it actually in the water.
The race is on...

Last night we went to the rodeo. It was the first time for Chris and the kids and they really enjoyed it...except for the cattle roping part where they threw the calves on the ground to rope their legs and Laura called out that it was awful and they were hurting them! Oh my special girl, what a greenie she will be!!! There was barrel racing, cattle roping, bull riding and the bucking broncos. Unfortunately we didn't get the camera going until the bulls had finished but we did get some of the bucking broncos. Forgive the shaky camera work,that's Stevo and he hasn't even had a drink...

Yeeeee har, ride 'em cowboy!

Tonight we are off for tea with Shelly and Craig at the seafood place on the wharf, should be lovely. Then tomorrow I start a run of 12 shifts in 14 days, including 4 nightshifts...couldn't get much yuckier than that! Luckily I will have 3 months off afterwards to recover, so I might just survive...
