Our Aussie Visit

After 18mths away from Sydney, we were very excited to be back. It was a busy week and we managed to fit in a lot of visits to family and friends.

We got to the beach and went for a swim (even though it is winter at the moment).

Macs rock pool is very beautiful in the early morning. We went for a walk along the beach...



Layne and Sarah headed to the water's edge to feel the temp.




And then we decided it was time for a race!!
Cooper was in the lead early on...




And then it was Pete vs Layne for the finish!

We had a great party for Cooper's 5th Birthday. Riley had a good time...

Lots of games, including a very messy donut eating competition!

We're pretty sure that Cooper had a good time!

We caught up with some new faces... like Olive!

We went for brunch on the Beard's new deck and gave Miles a sneaky early Birthday Pressie... everyone loves Postman Pat!

It was great to catch up with Miles again... he's growing very fast!

There was a Cromer gathering...

...and then a fantastic Dee Why breakfast to wrap things up.

It was great to see everyone - can't wait to see you all again when we next return!!
