Lightening Online

Hi Everyone,

HUGE apologies for my silence over the past month or so.  We continue to have trouble with our internet at home and they are now saying we need a new modem.  *sigh*

Christmas was chaotic but a LOT of fun!  Things went as planned though and everyone indicated they had a lovely relaxing time which is great.

The kids had a blast!

I then had 2 days to recover, wash, pack and do a quick clean up of sticky spots on the floor etc before we headed down to the family shack.

Again, we had a lovely yet chaotic time down there with Farmboy’s siblings and their families.

The day after Christmas, we decided we would head to Western Australia for 3 weeks.  Farmboy’s dad agreed to keep an eye on the farm for us.

I had 2 days after our time at the beach to again wash and pack.

No internet to properly research where we would go and what we would do.

So, we are now in Western Australia.

Fingers crossed when we get home I’ll have internet and can do some more detailed posts about our trip.

We spent 8 nights in Perth - and it was hot and muggy most of the time.

We still managed to have fun though.

And lots of swimming.

Now we’re in Albany.  With some free internet at the Caravan Park we are staying at (hence my ability to do a quick update post).

If you’ve commented and I haven’t responded - my hugest apologies.  Hopefully I’ll get to those before I run out of free internet time.  Otherwise, I’ll make it a priority when school goes back.

Yesterday we drove from Albany back to the Tree Top Walk.

Today we went to Whale World.  I’m quite surprised at how interested the kids were in the whole whaling industry.

From here we go to Esperance then home a few days before school goes back.

Phew!  The holidays have simply flown by.  Not surprising given how busy we’ve been.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year and that 2012 is turning out to be everything you hoped.

Catch up when we get back!
