City of Churches

Well we are back and we had such a great time in Adelaide. Oskar was showered with attention and presents and was so well behaved throughout the week. Now we are back though he asks for another present everyday. ...Got to nip that in the bud quickly. 

We did so much in a week and it really felt like 2 . I think this was because we were in so many locations along the way. 

A little recap and diary entry of our time in the City of Churches. The funny thing was every time we passed a church in the car Oskar exclaimed..."Castle mummy...princess tower!" ...It's a 'Shrek' thing and we just don't make them on the Gold Coast like they do down there. 

We spent the first 2 days with Em, Justin, Eden and Polly and on Sunday went to check out the Garden of Unearthly Delights at the Adelaide Fringe site.


                                               The kids got a little ride on a vintage carousel.

                                           ... it was hot, so then they enjoyed a little Gelati...




 ....and there was an awful amount of this going on back at home and they loved it! Guess what Oskar is getting for his 3rd birthday!? Lucky Oskar can't read yet.

We then spent the next couple of days in Goolwa at the family beach house and after getting through a tough night of food poisoning I was well enough to join the family on the boat.. it was a spectacular day! Dad however started to feel my same symptoms that morning but refused to cancel the day. What a man! I don't know how he did it.





 We had perfect weather and the fish were plentiful. We even got tired of re-baiting our hooks and Kayhla started dropping the line in bait free and to our amazement we were still pulling up 2 fish at a time moments after dropping it in! It was so much fun. Most we had to throw back as they were undersized, but it actually felt better releasing them than throwing them into a bucket. Oskar wanted more more more!



                                               We set up a picnic rug on a grassy beach 
and relaxed after our fishing......

            
Chillin....
                                   

                                             ........   and then slid down some sand dunes!

 ....collected some shells.....

   ....and then laughed at the state of our hair by the end of it all!

We finished the week back at home with a celebration dinner for Elena's 21st. It was a  beautiful banquet with a very impressive snapper as the centrepiece. Dad made a stand especially for it. Good work father.


      What a trip. 
What a great way to spend a week!
Friends, Family and great food.
(except for that dodgy stuff that gave me food poisoning)
