Time together

Yesterday we had some family time. My youngest brother Jason has been home for a few days before he starts jet setting again. So we got together to celebrate his upcoming 30Th birthday that is in June. He has been working on King Island for the past 12 months but is off again in his travels. This time he is off to Scotland to meet up with his Finnish girlfriend Keisa who is at university there, so it may be 12 months or more until we see him again. It was a beautiful day and great to to get together with everyone and just catch up.
Jason sporting his new look.... hmmm.... you can't tell here but his beard is actually quite ginger in colour

Katie and Piper catching up. Its great when you have cousins your own age to hang out with.
Alister, Josh and Paige

Nathan just kicking back and enjoying the sun

Lilly, Sarra. Hallie and Savannah - the kids found the magnifying glasses and spent ages trying to burn holes in paper and wood
My gorgeous girl Lilly
everyone getting in on the burning action - I should add that they were all fully supervised!
Even Jason thought he would have a go, but he said he had trouble getting it right

Jakob and Henry - its good when you have nice food and good sun, enough to make you want to take a nap.
My brothers- Jason, Dion and Simon
With my brothers, it's a pity Penny wasn't with us, but due to thousands of miles between us that wasn't possible - (we missed you Pen!!)
Hmmm, wonder what the entertainment is here??

Some of the boys
