Well l slept like a baby last night, think l definitely needed it. The girls slept well too in with Charlotte and Jake. Still can't believe we're in Tasmania, but believe its true when l here that unique laugh of Amanda's coming from the kitchen. We all have some breaky and arrange our day. Amanda has some appointments with the kids in the morning so Marty and l decide to head to Beaconsfield to check out the mine and then meet Amanda and the kids at Cataract G...

Well the nights sailing in the ship ended up with girls having a fantastic sleep (after their excitement ended and they drifted off), Marty getting at least 4 hours and me having only 2 hours. There was no sea sickness but the noise and rocking up and down off the waves was enough not to let me relax and drift off to sleep. I got up a few times and had a look out the port hole, it did look pretty cool, the height of the waves and all. But at 5:30 am when the capt...

Well today was very exciting for us, the lead up has felt like it had been going on for ages. That's right we're off to Tassie today!! We spent the day with Naomi, Noah and Meisje which was fabulous.

The day seemed to fly and as the arvo came around Marty and l started to get a buzz happening with the anticipated voyage over the Bass Strait on the Spiri...

The show was great, with all the characters: Mickey, Minny, Donald and Goofey. It also had the characters from Aladdin, Mermaid a...

Last lot of catch ups we had were with 'The McKays'. We turned up to Nelly's big smiling face and the boys all excited to see the girls. We had a great time during our days with them all. We relaxed, ate, drank, swam whilst the kids spent time playing each other on the Wii. The girls loved it seeing they don't get a chance to play it on the road. Ethan, Reece, Boo and Meg also had a ball playing dress ups and was cute to watch, we all got a giggle for it. The Leg...
