Back in Business!

This weekend was great! It was slightly chilly but still very pleasant and sunny. Sadly, we have had a couple of weekends in a row with spotty weather that has kept us from doing much or going too far from home so we were excited to get out and hike. (Last weekend we did to try have a second hike up Mt. Warning but David developed a blister about a quarter of the way up causing us to head home early.)

Saturday we drove to Lamington National Park (about a two hour drive) and had a really nice 7+K hike. We ended our hike on the treetop walk at O'reilly's Rainforest Retreat. It was beautiful!

Sunday we did our usual Cabarita walk (about 6K round trip) and then spent the afternoon playing at the farm. We returned home Sunday evening with three VERY dirty kids.

This week will be quite busy for us as we are having JJ and Denver over for the afternoon on Wednesday (after school), Andrew, TJ, Sienna and Bohdie over for dinner on Thursday night and Rebecca, Matt, Nicki, JJ and Denver over for dinner on Saturday night. Keep your fingers crossed for me on the cooking!

We have our camping trip planned for next month and are very much looking forward to it. We settled on Hervey Bay where we will take a daytrip/tour of Fraser Island. We have heard great things about this area. The kids (and Mom of course) are really looking forward to seeing the Humpback whales who are known to winter in the area.
