Bec's 40th Birthday - Part 2

After lunch and a play at the park, we headed to the resort we booked in Emu Park to check in and have a swim to cool down.

After our swim, Bec / Kris & kids headed home and we all got dressed for a birthday dinner.   We went to the bowls club for dinner.  We took a heap of photos outside - some of my faves!

We had some nice meals and took more photos.

After dinner we all headed back to Bec & Dale's to catch up amd enjoy the yummy caramel slice for dessert.

Bec's 40th Birthday - Part 1

We were up early and on the road to Rockhampton to surprise Becca and celebrate her 40th birthday!!  Kristy flew in the day before to surprise her, but our arrival was still a secret.  When we left it was very foggy, but that lifted and we had gorgeous blue skies.

We headed straight to Yeppoon and surprised Bec :)  She was doing some baking (Kristy was distracing her from tying to leave the house lol) - she was actually making caramel slice to torment me that I wasn't there to have any - back fired when we arrived while she was just adding the chocolate layer bahahahaha

We decided to head to a park for a picnic  - a quick stop at the shops for supplies and found a lovely spot with gorgeous views and a playground for the kids to run around.

Everyday Moments

We brought this fabulous sprinkler mat for Clay to cool down and play during the warmer weather - he loves it and it's the perfect size for him.

Ma Ma took us for a drive to the beach last week - Clay enjoyed a play at his favourite park and then a yummy ice cream.

A photo of our backyard during the recent 200ml rain we received in one night - such crazy weather lately.  Its nice to have green lawns again after so many months of dry, brown lawns.  Excuse the yucky pool  - it's now back to a lovely sparkling clear, but due to rain we haven't had a swim yet for this Spring season.

Clay has been created some lovely bright paintings recently.  Love the drying line we put up :)

The tomato seeds that Clay planted at the Rainbow Day have sprouted !

The pineapple top we planted is still growing  - hope that pot will be big enough.

Scrapbook Layouts

Here are the last 3 layouts from retreat.  Hopefully I can get a few more pages scrapped before the end of the year.

Sharing another 4 layouts from retreat!

Sharing some more layouts from retreat :)  I find I am more productive if I have kits packed - less time wasted procrastinating over papers and embellishments ;)  I managed to get 11 new layouts scrapped, plus the 5 unfinished ones completed - a total of 16 layouts!!

Lazy Mondays

Yesterday Mum dropped around and we decided it was too nice a day to stay at home - so hopped in the car and went to get ice cream.  We sat down by the river and enjoyed them.   Clay had a little play in the park before we decided to go for drive.

We headed over to east Bundaberg and saw the heritage listed water tower.

Next was the Rum Distillery.

Then off down some unfamiliar roads along the river.

A very pleasant way to spend a sunny afternoon :)
