Last Weekend... Part 1

Here is the first post of last weekend. These are the photos taken before and after Beth's party (post of that coming soon!).
Jess at the bus stop, at 11:30 on Friday night.
There's quite a story behind the late arrival :P It was our girls' first time on a bus since I was five, and that was in America and Hawaii, so we were very excited! The bus was to leave at 6pm and arrive at Mossy at 8. It left at the appointed time and less than 5 minutes down the road it had unknown mechanical problems, so it had to turn around and wait for another bus to take us at 7:30. forty-five minutes passed before the second bus arrived.
Ten minutes from Goulburn it too broke down... this time it had a dead battery! So we sat on the side of the highway, surrounded by 50 or so strangers in utter darkness, (save the dim light of a laptop and mobile phones) for one and a half hours. We girls passed the time by playing games and listening to our iPods, which added to the fun.
We were not in the least put out by the hours of delay; it made the bus ride all the more adventurous! So, that is how we arrived at Mossvale :)
Me.
Bek and Karli.
Maddy and I on Saturday morning.
Naomi and Karli at the bus stop, Sunday afternoon.
Bek, Lara and Jess, same place as said above. Okay, so I'm in the process working on the post of Beth's party, which will come before too much time has lapsed. Hopefully tonight :)
Until then I remain your 'faithful' blogger,

So glad that you could roll with the punches! I would have had to have spoken strictly to myself to prevent myself from stressing, if I had been in that rather unfortunate bus situation!

You girls look EXHAUSTED(no offense at all!)! Kudos for not becoming grouchy, touchy, and stressed out as I probably would have in a similar situation!
