Family Fun

Today mum and dad hired the water slide in Ulverstone. We did this last year as a family and we all had so much fun Oma and Pop thought they would do it again. But this crazy Tasmanian summer keeps us on our toes and it was sooooooo cold. But that wasn't enough to stop us!!! Once you had gone numb it was great!! Afterwards we had a barbecue together and just had fun!! Also today was Dion's birthday and what better way to celebrate than with your family.....

Henry warming up after the water slide.
All of it was too much for Jonty.... he's such a cute baby.

Katie-Lynne, Piper and Sarra having fun with chalk. These three get along really well together, there's only 8 months difference in their ages and it's great to see them having fun with with each other.
I asked the boys to pose for a photo and this is what happened. Oliver wasn't too sure what to make of Nathan, Henry, Jakob (he's underneath everyone), Josh and Allister all wrestling each other.....

but he soon got the hang of it!!

The girls were much more civilized. (Piper, Hallie, Aneika, Paige, Savannah, Sarra and Katie-Lynne)

Dion playing cricket wit the boys - a good way to celebrate his birthday.

Jakob speeding down the water slide

Nathan enjoying the (cold) water.

Henry holding Jonty, he won't admit it but he absolutely loves to hold his little cousin.

I wish we could have been there! I told Sam what all his cousins in Australia were doing and he was quite sad that he couldn't be there too! We've all been stuck at home sick- much better to have been enjoying a BBQ & water slide!

Miss you!
