The Blackwells are also safely home (minus Chai, who gets picked up from her puppy-sitter's at 5pm) after a fun-filled (if not sun-filled!) 3 days at Noosa. The weather was cloudy, humid and cool. It rained on Wednesday, the sun came out for a bit late on Thursday, and we had clouds and showers today. Perfect weather for playing and relaxing at the pool and not worrying about sunburn - although Rachael's shoulders were a bit red last night. When you're as pale as she is, it doesn't take much!
We browsed the local shops, spent hours in the pool, Ken went body-surfing at Noosa Beach, and we played lots of games: Bananagrams, Cluedo and SmartAss. The girls (yes, even Emily!) survived 3 days without computers, which we feel was one of the biggest benefits of the trip. It's so nice to have your children's undivided attention once in a while! This morning we indulged in our requisite breakky at Moondoggy's Cafe, which is always a highlight of the trip and was as delicious as ever. (And Mom, Emily had an iced chocolate and we all raised a toast to you.) Can't wait for next year!!
Glad to hear that Mom and Dad's trip home was as pleasant and uneventful as the trip down, and that they are home and all is well. We miss you - thanks for a very special month.
