Lake Cruising

This was a lovely evening we spent out on our friends' boat on Lake Moondarra. Rhys was a bit nervous at first and wasn't sure he liked the life jacket, but as you can see, he decided it was the best!

Easter weekend 2010

Happy Easter everyone! Ok, so it's long past now and I'm just getting around to posting all these photos! We had a very busy weekend and it took a few days to get over it! We spent the weekend doing fun things with our friends. Saturday Eldon looked after Rhys while I did some baking with my friend Danielle for Easter Sunday dinner and then went bowling with some others in the afternoon. Sunday we drove to Cloncurry for the meeting. Then we all met up again back in the Isa for dinner and Tim and Danielle's. We had an easter egg hunt for the kiddies after they decorated their own baskets. Then on Monday we took a 4WD trip to a couple of interesting places around Mt Isa. That was a bigger day than we thought and so Monday night was not a very good night for Rhys. Anyway, we had a great weekend with friends and hope you all did too!

Eva at her cutest!

Eva wasn't really in the mood...

Deon and Deanna

Daniel and Rhys had fun hunting with a little help

Danielle's Treasure cake

The Bandaid Tree...apparently the leaves are used by the Aborigines for bandaids and the fruit is seriously posionous

The old Mary Kathleen uranium mine, now abandoned...it's not a good idea to swim in this water, no matter how pretty...

Rhys "talking" on my phone

Eva was really glad to be out of the car!

Ride em' horsey!

And the horsey's name is Daddy! He loves getting thrown up in the air!

I just love the nappy and shoes...Rhys loves his shoes!

How we survived the heat w/o aircon today...and more

Today the power went out for a few hours leaving us hot and sticky inside. So we headed outside to play with the hose. I'm not sure why Rhys thought he needed to hold it between his legs...but I just had to get a photo of that!

Half wet, half dry

having our morning tea on the back lawn...

This afternoon the rain came again, bringing a sauna-like atmosphere with it. I would like it to go now please. I was rather enjoying our nice morning breezes and having cups of tea with Danielle outside. These pesky cyclones....don't they realise it's the end of the season?
