HALLS GAP and WENTY

JUNE 30 was our annual halls gap weekend. Susan and Sean, Jenny and Freddie, Sunny, Luke, Etta and I.

I took heatpacks to use on the drive, felt delicious. I had a night at don's first, a walk up towards the lake and time with don is always good. 

HALLS GAP  Weather was very wet, lots of soft rain on Saturday and pools of water on the ground everywhere. Sunday the sun came out so we had the firepit going.  wildlife was everywhere, we were surrounded by kangaroos every day and there were very tame kookaburras and rosellas at the house and down at the stony creek cafes. 

Etta kept us entertained - she loved the pool table and spent a lot of time rearranging the balls in the triangle :0) she has no trouble keeping her amused all day, going from one thing to another, constantly discovering and exploring.  we had a belated birthday celebration for her too - Mum's chocolate cake and presents

Scrabble, bbq, fire, games of pool, walks and enjoying the wildlife - all the things we love about halls gap and the house is fabulous, so much space for us all to spread out in.
