This past week was the last week for my hubby's Christmas holidays. I'm really rather sad about it actually. We've had some great times over the past 3 weeks. It's gone so quickly and the real year is about to begin for us.
Of course we just had to spend a few days at the lake house. Why not? It's sitting there unoccupied and waiting to be filled with noise, fun and laughter. A friend and her 2 kids were able to come with us this time. It was sooo much fun!
We ate and played board games and went to the lake and into town for coffee. The kids had so much fun playing outside together on bikes and scooters and a skateboard.
The weather was perfect! It would have been so nice to stay a few days longer. There's always weekends though.
This is part of the view from the front verandah. We just sit out there and chat and enjoy the serenity.
This guy graced us with his presence after I put out some bread. My friend Ms M and I were only sitting about 1.5 metres away from him.
Photo taken by Danny
I thought this was a great photo and just had to put it into this post as part of our holiday photos.
Danny and Monkey practising shooting with the air pistol. Monkey thought it was the bees knees!
Lake Eildon. Well a snippet of it anyway. It's a REALLY big lake and this is just the Gough's Bay bit of it.
Why is sitting by water so calming and relaxing?
He did not let go of Dad's hand.
Just messing about with the B&W function on the camera.
He noticed I was taking photos of him as he was walking out of the water, so he put on quite the display for me.
Cheeky Monkey!!!
This turned into...
...this.
Nice!
And some more. Note the really nice boat in the background.
How the other half live.
By that I mean the older people with grown up kids that they don't have to pay for anymore.
Aaaahhhh the serenity.

What a beautiful space to spend time together.
I love the photos of the Monkey looking through 'the jungle' with his noculators [our families' term for binoculars]...also the B&W's = gorgeous.

PS. Ky, what a special comment you left me! You made my day. :o)
PS. Here is my reply to your comment.
Hi Ky,
I can't wait to post a little virtual vacation..Aussie style. We USA bloggers are suffering from the winter blues if you ask me.
Yes that's my kitchen. :o) If I didn't have a family of five and lots of company..it wouldn't seem quite so small to me I'm sure. At least twice this month and and last I've had a group of eight teenage boys over. It gets tight then. :o) I picked the couch with large teenagers in mind. :O)
No post tomorrow..because Tim's boss and co-worker will be here and I'll be doing major cooking every single day..plus a little waitressing..Ha!!
Just picture me trotting back and forth between the house and the office with cups of coffee.. and spreading out 'fancy' sandwich lunches...and up early making extra special breakfasts, because that's what I'll be doing all next week starting tomorrow. It will be fun though. :o)
Lots of good food..and good conversation every evening.
Love all you guys!!

Ky, I did a post earlier this evening that should be up until Monday morning (unless I happen to get a post done sooner.) I linked to FOUR of your posts.
It's called 5 Cures for the Winter-time blues..and visiting your blog was Remedy #1. :o) Hope you get some visitors!
