Our time away...

At the beginning of February we traveled up to Queensland to be with Grandad in his last days. You can read about Grandad on Mum's blog.
We arrived at the house we were staying at on the 3rd after enduring a 15 hour drive. It was a wonderful two storey house on a working farm in Cudgen, with 6 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a large dining table big enough for our family and some amazing scenic views.



One very happy baby, ready to get out of the car.


This shot of Mt. Warning is just amazing!

Three little frogs...
...They were plentiful. This is one that managed to get into the house!

Kicking up the water!




"Look at my hat!"









At our Uncle's pool.

Briyana and I.
Rob was glad to be able to celebrate his 9th birthday up there.

Looks like everyone had a good time. Wow, the scenery is gorgeous. I was looking at all of the pictures of you guys swimming, and then I look outside my window and see all of the snow and realize I need to check the fire...sigh...Come on, Summer. Hurry up. LOL.

Hi Rachael, It's lovely to see your photos of everyone-Little Michael is growing up-and now I can see that Axelby "look" coming through-what a cutie pie.

Nice froggy pictures. We heard from Cassandra that they were getting into the house. Weren't they in the toilet at some stage?

Hehe! yeah, Tiffs told us how so very brown it is up there...thankfully we've had some rain lately so its quite green down here, though not such a viberant green as QL. Have you seen Tiff or/and the VD's yet?

Rachael said...

Did Tiff go up to Queansland? Last night the VDs came for dinner; it was so fun!!

Haha!! No Tiffs at uni up there. It was probably a silly question to ask as she doesnt exatly have any way of seeing you guys. :p

Miss you all very much (heaps of tears)

Love all your pics Rach. The last ones really cool how you've got Jess looking back at the people in the water. Bek running through the water was cool too!
