random holiday shots

It has been a week since we returned from out beach holiday and I am only just now getting around to posting!

Trying to get back into a routine and getting the kids organised and back into schoolwork while VCH works on a house project in his last couple of weeks off.

So I thought I would share some random shots from our holiday.

 Crabs caught and eaten - yum!

 Fish caught by B5- not so many fish this year, but we did manage a lovely fish meal in the 2nd week.

 Rough surf and lots of clouds and showers throughout the first week

 Buried driftwood to make trees again.

B5 thought it would be a great lookout

 Or perhaps he could be a bird?

 The Girl of course had to have a turn too!

 Fossicking

 Spotting a ship out to sea.

 Sand art- VCH specialty.

B4 thought he might do a portrait of DAD

 Clearer skies but those clouds were still hanging around.

 On an adventure to some nearby beaches on my birthday.

(NB to self- don't smile big you can see wrinkles)

 A family of coastal emus spotted on a headland on adventure.

Five kids and their dad.

Here is an article that pictures a family of emus in the same area back in October- wonder if they are the  same ones?

We arrived back on The Girl's 6th birthday.

I wasn't feeling well, after eating some stuff I shouldn't have, and for the first time ever I didn't make the birthday cake.
B1 grabbed a mudcake from Woollies on his way home from work.

So now we are back and I have some finds and projects to share with you- soon I promise!
