Birthday Weekend

This weekend has been Tish's birthday weekend. Now a gentleman never gives away a ladies age but hey I never said I was a gentleman...
Anyway we had looked for an appropriately worded banner to mark this occasion but they were also so DULL we decided to edit one that was more appropriate in celebrating the inner child...

The children also decided to be creative with the balloons - did you know that marker pens and blown up balloons don't mix, in fact when used in combination it can sound as if WWIII has broken out

and of course polite cards have been the order of the day

We gave Tish a full breakfast in bed - bacon butties, grapefruit, fruit juice and tea, although in the interests of a clean and crumb free bed she opted to get up and eat it in the lounge.
After a relaxing late morning and early afternoon we then met up with Lara for a picnic at Muddys Playpark along the esplanade. It was great the children had several distinct areas to go loopy in - including several wet play areas.
Whilst the children ran around like headless chickens we sat and had our picnic, with occasional visits from hot and thirsty children

It was rounded off with various flavoured ice creams the most revolting looking were undoubtedly these

The view from our picnic bench was quite impressive
Looking towards the lagoon

and looking north towards Yorkeys

We hadn't been to Muddys before as the webpage made it look rather unappealing but given the great views and extensive play areas we will be back.
Today (Sunday) we all got up and went to Church with Tish, and we have been relaxing this afternoon before having a BBQ this evening.
Tish is on nine nights this next fortnight so.....
