Charlie is 7!

Charlie is 7! On her birthday there was cake and more cake and we travelled up to Mount Buller. On our return we had a party at St Kilda Adventure Playground with about 20 of her friends. There was much more cake!



Point Roadknight

We had a lovely weekend at Point Roadknight near Anglesea staying in a friend's holiday house. Roger and Charlie went surfing (too cold for Alex and I as we only had shortie wetsuits.) Then we walked along the cliff tops to Anglesea for coffee and cake.

Mount Buller

More excellent skiing!
Fabulous weather, although getting  a little too warm so the snow getting a bit slushy..... Steph (James and Connor's nanny joined us, she is a ski instructor and has been giving us all some top tips)
Kids been in ski school each day and did some racing today!
Eating and drinking well, unfortunately it all comes to an end as we have to go home tomorrow.
We've had a really great few days with Lisa and Dave and their kids James and Connor. It's been amazing how the kids have progressed in the 5 days... today they wanted 'plenty of air time'.

On top of the world!

We're spending five days at the snow with our good friends Lisa and Dave and their kids. Mount Buller is about 3 1/2 hours from Melbourne. We've all been skiing every day and the kids are improving fast! Charlie was showing me her jumps yesterday! I think they'll be better than me by the end of the week. Snow is the best it's been for 15 years and the sun is shining without a cloud in the sky! Awesome! Time for some shredding on Shakey! Go figure!
