Summer fun

It has been fabulous to have a week away. It came about rather quickly. One of David's work contracts came to and end and we talked about the possibility of seeing if there was any vacancy on the holiday house belonging to friends of ours. There was - the following week. YAY. What a treat to leave the busyness behind and take some quiet time together as a family

Some highlights:

• Singing together in the evenings after Bible stories
  
• Watching Marco Polo together (or rather part of the series - there are quite a few of them...)


• Reading 'The Silver Sword' together as a family (or rather as Owen and Rosa roamed the house to see what mischief they could find while we were so engrossed in a captivating book;). We actually finished the last couple of chapters this afternoon after we had unpacked most of our things

Eating watermelon:

Visiting a lookout over Noosa

Enjoying the beaches

Eating Lebanese lentil soup (yum) with yummy sesame seed and spice covered bread. The kids had lebanese pizza. It met with approval.





Playing in the park

and just hanging out with the broom!

Overall a lovely time to relax, to read (oh and I finished reading 'Stepping Heavenward' for the second time - great book ... see below) and to enjoy the precious little ones given to us as gifts.
