Melbourne Zoo
I suppose a visit to the zoo usually starts with a cup of coffee after the drive into town. We thought so anyway.
There have been so many changes since we last came here.The bears are behind glass and they come right up to you - no fear on either side !
We have a small herd of elephants in a new enclosure. The animals all seem happy and we had a fantastic day.Seeing it all through the eyes of a small boy really added to our fun.
Here is another little one falling in love with her opa.The time with the family just flew past and it made us realise how really blessed we are.

FAMILY Weekend
David and Sara came for 10 days so we decided to have the whole family stay with us for the weekend. With a bit of creative sleeping arrangement we fitted 17 people into our house quite comfortably.Little Megan was a bit overwhelmed with all the attention at first but she soon got used to us all.
The back yard turned out to be an excellent sports field.We have some world champions in the making (maybe) and we really had good fun together.
Our oldest and youngest grandchildren.
We went to the playground at Lilydale lake - there is play equiptment for young and old.The icecream man must have been pleased to see such a nice big family - we had a special treat for a special day.

Shallow Inlet
Just before the children finished their school holidays we joined Annemarie , Gary and their kids and Amrit and the girls for a few days at the beach. Kiran (and all of them ) had a wonderful time in the shallow water.
Anjali and Jenna are good friends . The kids wear wetsuits which stops them from getting cold and you don't have to put sunscreen all over them.
Gary took a canoe down with him. We all had a go in it which was good fun.The water was much deeper further out so they went fishing in the channel.
Ben is very keen on the fishing so he went out with Gary several times. They caught quite a few fish - most were too small or not edible but they did have a meal from them.

Christmas eve
As every other year our family comes together to celebrate Jesus' birth on Christmas-eve. The nativity scene has been set up with the annual addition of more angels.
The Christmas-tree all done up. We are waiting for 16 people to arrive: our children and grandchildren and Amrit, our daughter in laws family visiting from Singapore. Vicki has been preparing enough food for at least 50 people, just hoping that everyone is very hungry.
After the meal it is present giving time. The adults do the kris kringel way of giving but the children will get something from each family, it took appr. 2 hours to unwrap all the presents from under the Christmas-tree.
All the presents are unwrapped seperately and here is Kiran the centre of attention watched by Anjali her sister, Tim her dad and cousin Rachel.
Among the presents were also some new outfits, which had to be modelled, of course.
We all had a lovely evening and at the end of it we had enough food left to feed another 20 people at least.

Time with Michelle and Jenna
Jenna and Michelle spent 2 nights with us during the school holidays. It was great to have them and we went to the playground at Lilydale lake. Michelle gave us a bit of a dramatic display.
The ducks and waterhens are always after a feed. Jenna attracted them even with nothing in her hands.
Opa was kept on his toes
Jenna is growing up - she will be going to kindergarten next year. Isn't she a picture!
