Sam & Sarah

 At the end of September we went to Middleton to help and join in with Uncle Sam & Aunty Sarah's wedding. It was a beautiful day with everything running smoothly and producing an absolutely stunning occasion.  


Beau had a special job for the day - to make sure Uncle Sam behaved (e.g. pageboy)



All the boys looking spunky


Sarah the stunning bride


and all the beautiful bridesmaids


Beau with Uncle Scotty watching on


It did get a bit much for his little legs....


trusty biscuits were on hand to keep others behaved!




The once in a blue moon family picture!


Formalities over - time to let the sillies out!


Dad's Day

Toby was super excited to do something special for his Dad on Father's Day, so he created a unique Treasure Hunt. 
 Steve had to follow the map and find the ingredients to his favourite slice.  




Once all the "treasures" were found, Toby set to work to produce Steve's favourite Weetbix Slice


 The finished product worked well, a bit tough, but edible all the same....

Lachy came over for the day while Selena & Greg were working and getting ready for their Annual  Ram sale. Davy and Lachy had a great day getting into all sorts of mischief.......  



Not shy of the camera this one.... 




'Sorry, no pictures!'

Sports Day

On Friday we travelled off to Frances to take part in the Interschool Sports Day between Frances, Padthaway and Mundulla. In fine sunny spring weather the kids competed against each other in athletic events scoring points for their school.

Other events Toby did were 50m Sprint, Vortex (javelin), Shot Put, and 1 lap Oval run. 
Toby was also the runner for Yr 1 in the R-7 Relay 

Frances were the overall winners for the day, with Padthaway winning the R-7 Relay

A great day of healthy competition and great sportsmanship between the small schools

No further photographic evidence was recorded as what happens on Hen's, stays on Hen's.....


A few weeks later and it was time to board the plane and set off once again to sunny QLD, i.e. Hamilton Island, this time I was VERY lucky to have fun in the sun whilst Steve and the boys stayed home in chilly SA 


A beautiful setting for a beautiful occasion
