Family in April

All the cousins on Gary's side got together when Steve & Barb visited from WA. They have a great time together at Grandma & Grandpa's house, disappearing into the bush for most of the afternoon.
All together except Pete and Lee. The last get together that included everyone was at Pete and Lees wedding, even then it still took a bit of photoshop magic to get something OK...

Update the Update

Well its April already. Thought we better put a few photos in to bring it up to date.

This is back in January I think.

Badminton became all the rage, and it still gets a bit of a work out. Ben and Gary set the record of 119 hits in a row.

Back to school, and Jenna starting kinder. If Annie thought she was going to start getting a bit more spare time now it won't last long. As of May additions and alterations will require an energy rating, not just new homes. New homes are probably less than 50% of my work. BTW Ben finally decided to have a hair cut just the other day, back to number 4.

All the kids are getting into snorkeling now.

Michelle is particularly into it. We worked a bit on her duckdiving at the pool the other day so I think she is going to be taking the next step with it soon.

Jenna enjoys riding on my back on the bodyboard (when there is waves!). Lots of yelling and cheering. Actually I just got a new surfboard recently too.

The Easter egg hunt up at Hank & Vickis

Annie had 5 days down at Sandy Point with the kids, joining Hank & Vicki and Tim & Amrit & kids in a holiday house. I only made it for the weekend so Annie didn't get the chance to take too many photos. Here is Jenna at low tide, with a very shallow beach the tide goes out a long way.
