Seeking the Sun


It has been raining here for weeks. David's Dad and his partner Joy came and visited us over the weekend and it wasn't the best weather but we still had a ball.
We ate and pulled faces when our sister wanted to take pics.


We compared download speed


and cuddled up with Nanna and had favourite stories read to us (and introduced Nanna to the Velvateen Rabbit - Lulu's fave).


and nicked Poppies cool Sunnies (sorry Poppie).


Saturday was really wet so Dad and Joy took the kids to the movies... and Dave and I did what grown ups do when find themselves with a quite empty house ... talked about the kids and read the weekend papers...
Sunday rolled around and we decided to head to the beach to find some sun (or be outdoors in the rain). We found the sun, the surf and sand at Noosa and had a fantastic time swimming and eating and window shopping.
Some visitors are hard work (for me) Dad and Joy are the complete opposite... and I can honestly say we all had a really wonderful fun weekend.

I'd like to be able to find a nice, sunny, warm beach right about now. :-)

Isn't it nice to have visitors who actually make life easier? That never happens to me!

Gotta love some great visitors!
Especially when it's nice and low key.
