The Trip Up.....................................
Some nice mountains...
Some more mountains...
A river on the way up...names TBA for the mountains and river!
The surrounds..............................
This is the garden on the side of the house, near the driveway.
Another shot of the lawn and garden surrounds...if you look very carefully you can see the croquet wickets we had set up. The use of railroad sleepers and bricks for edging/containment is quite common down here.
The view from the house to the west.
View to the northwest.
And finally, the view to the north.
The Young'uns....................................
Glory Hallelujah, a good picture of Al! And Paula as well...but good pictures of Paula are much less rare...:o)
Sexy...what more can you say about that one?
We couldn't decide what to do for a goofy picture...this worked out well!
Eee, look! I've gained a sister!
A good, albeit fuzzy shot of the wee cuties!
Not an uncommon sight if you're in their presence for more than a couple minutes...And it gets a good rise out of the parents/relatives ("") and Al (imagine gagging motions).
Ah yes...don't recall exactly what inspired this picture, except rugby photos, in which all the players look STAUNCH like this.
A less-staunch photo, if only a teensy bit...the two troublemakers.
Oh, what to say about this one...there are *no* words! Um, we're both bad at taking goofy pictures, think this was Paula's idea. So I look more like someone doing yoga, and Al is doing a superb monkey impression.
"Me tarzan, you Jane...you come with me!" Rose, this is to match your one of you and Camden...
Us being cute.
A sexy full-body shot!
More of the same...
And again!
A good close up of the four of us!
Us with a bit better view behind...
Paula and Nick looking darling as ever!
The lot of us (minus Murray, taking the picture) enjoying our meal in the
aftermath of the Christmas crackers! (l-r: Mary (Jill's mum), Paula, Nick,
Jill, Al, and yours truly)
Other.............................................
Al, Murray, and Jill at the most frustrating minigolf course in the world. My dear...if you had to pay every time you said a nasty word they would be rich. A fun time was had by all...
This pic is from a walk on the beach at Rabbit Island, looking __________. Looks nice, eh? Check out the next one.
This pic is from the same walk, same place, a couple seconds later, just looking the opposite direction from the first, towards Richmond? Not so nice in that direction. That was the remainders of Christmas morning weather, and the first pic was the nice weather that came in around 2.
