Our Easter Break

I had meant to update earlier this week but as usual life has been hectic this week. It has been really good to be on holidays but I have had lots of things I wanted to get done, lots of little things, like running around organising caterers for Chloe's 18th, organising activies for it, fixing up my super, and private health care cover, sending photos off to people, contacting the Union, - just lots of little things that seem to take huge amounts of time. Still have to organise some driving lessons for Chloe, take her for an x-ray and make a doctors appointment for Steve (it just doesn't happen when I leave it up to him - and his heart scans were due a year ago) What is it about men that they hate going to the doctors. We've had hair cuts, and also managed to go to the movies a couple of times (girlie movies "17 Again" and "Confessions of a Shopaholic" all good fun.

We spent Easter at Tannum Sands with a group of families from church. This is about the 7th year that families have gone camping there and we always have a great time. It is a pretty relaxed sort of weekend with things happeneing for everyone. I know that I in particular got to catch up on a lot of sleep. With all that was going on in the week leading up to Easter, I wasn't sleeping very well, so it was really nice to have some time out to just unwind, sleep and spend time with such a caring and encouraging group of people.
We sat around and talked and did puzzles

Some of us read books
Others did jigsaw puzzlesOthers played cards

On Saturday morning the girls all went out for coffee and a bit of a shop.
Others had a wild time with the trolleys.The young guys took to riding bikes around the neighbourhood.Others went fishign but didn't score too much.

Others managed to catch a feed.
Attempting to toast some marshmallows without too much success.
Some of us just enjoyed watching the Kite surfers as they scootered accross the water and did these amazing jumps.
On Saturday night, the young girls had a girlie night and had facials.
Some were happy just to chill out with a cuppa and a feed.
Some one was very ticklish - oh the laughter.
Friends enjoying hanging out together.
Unfortunately all good things must come to an end and it was time to pack up and go home.

Have other photos to share but will leave that to another post. This has taken me ages to upload tonight and I need sleep - desperately need some sleep.
