Fathers Day Antics

Sunday 4th September 2011- Fathers Day! It started off raining and windy and horrible, but the weather soon fined up and held that way for us to have a great day. After the pressie giving (of course) all 4 of us took off down to Alex for a maternity photo shoot. The kids ran amok on the beach, while John helped me out. Once that finished, it was our time! :)

We had the kites in the car, and the hill we were on was PERFECT for kite flying! We had them both out as far as they would go! We had plans of stopping along the Maroochy river on the way home, but we were sidetracked...

By pure chance, we came across the Fathers Day 'thing' happening at Cotton Tree. And by even bigger chance, we found a nice close car park- so we had no excuse but to go in! We went on the big slides, made all sorts of 'sand' art, checked out the animals and some of the displays, and  listened to some great musicians. Such a great day had by all, not to mention a BIG day- the kids slept the whole way home (I have to admit I even drifted off for a bit!) :) Thanks to John and the kids for a great day- hope you had a good day too John!





My Favourite shot of the Day! Only to be followed by......................



 .....this! Kaylee has to 'wipe the kiss off', Jaxon's cracking about having to kiss his dad for so long while I got the shot, and John- well, that's just him! :)





The Party

Miss K's birthday party today! Considering it was pouring down rain yesterday afternoon and all of last night, as well as being forecasted to be a miserable day today, the weather was absolutely stunning! It was only supposed to be a small-ish get together in the park for a sausage sizzle. But once Kaylee invited her couple of friends that brought their brothers and sisters, and I invited a couple of my friends with their kids... it ended up quite a big affair! Of course I'm now frazzled and ready for bed, but Miss K had a wonderful day, and that's all that matters! Right??

There is just one thing that we're trying to figure out. As I've gone through all the photos from today, one particular little girl keeps popping up that none of us know- including Miss K! I assumed she was one of the friends' sisters or something, but apparently not! I've got photos of her playing with the kids, winning prizes in pass the parcel, eating birthday cake, and even with a party bag at the end (I didn't name any of the bags, because I didn't know who was coming and just made up a pile)!! There was another party going on next to ours, we're not sure if she was from that party or just from a family visiting the park. Either way, where was her parent?? Lol. At least this kid has had a good day! They're starting to crash parties pretty young these days...!!

The birthday girl- being her usual daggy self!! Gotta love the outfits she chooses for herself these days...!
