Happy Australia Day!

Well today is Australia Day and to celebrate we headed to the local swimming pool for their Family Fun Day!
We decided to go in the afternoon to avoid the crowds and it was a good decision many people said it had been packed in the morning and wished they had thought to come later in the day.
After swimming we headed back home and we watched UP! I have to say that this movie is fantastic and really enjoyable for all the family. While we were watching the movie we had dinner and then we headed to Cameron Park for the Australia Day Festival which had local bands playing, rides and of course fireworks!
After the fireworks we headed home Rhyley got ready for bed as he has school tomorrow!

Until next time,

Welcome 2010!

We decided to come home early from Ballina so we could ring in the New Year together as a family.

We didn't do anything special though. We watched a movie together Back to the Future which Rhyley loved then we began to watch a New Year's Eve special with Rhyley trying desperately to stay awake for the fireworks.
Eleven o'clock neared and he was trying so hard to stay up but kept nodding off on the lounge until finally he resolved it was time for bed but not before making us pinkie swear to wake him before the fireworks were on.
We promised and Jason tucked him in, at quarter to twelve Jason went in to wake him and nothing! So I tried, waking him gently and telling him not long until the fireworks he sat up, looked around, closed his eyes again and promptly fell back on his pillows fast asleep.

So Jason and I snuggled on the lounge together and watched the fireworks and wished each other a Happy New Year and resolved that 2010 was going to be our year for good things to happen too and to realise our dreams and goals.

So here's to 2010 may it be all you wish for!
