A Family Visit

On Friday night we were lucky to have Ryan's family to come and stay for the weekend. On the Saturday morning Ryan, his dad and I all went and met the ladies for a jog around the Gorge. We then came home got changed and went for a trip to town then on to the Museum where we had a lovely lunch at the Cafe there. In the afternoon I had to go and do my Aqua class so Ryan's dad came along to give it a go, which he managed to survive and still come out smiling, or maybe that could have been the hydro massage bed he got to lay in after!

In the evening we all went to the Riverside hotel for dinner as it has a great playground that is inside for the kids to play on, and it is the only place we can go of late as a family and manage to enjoy our dinner with Will not wanting to run away or getting bored. It is also a good meal which helps PLUS I don't have to wash and dry up.

On the Sunday we did the usual and went to Church and Ryan taught the youth class and I was busy with Primary, maybe just a little more than I wanted to be this Sunday however! In the afternoon we had a restful afternoon and organised a meal which included Kirk and Amy coming over for dinner as well. We were lucky enough to be given 2 whole salmons a few weeks ago that have been in our freezer so we did them on the BBQ with some sausages and chicken for those who do not like fish. It was a great night as after dinner we brought out the wii and had a good time with the kids showing their grandparents how you bowl! Will was a champ with his strikes, spares and a number of high 5s! Kirk and his dad had a great time playing tennis, while his mum enjoyed the bowling.

On the Monday the boys got up rather early to go or a trip to Beaconsfield to have a tour under ground in the mine. The weather was such a yucky day but they were unawares as they had such a great time listening to one of the guys who works their explain how they mine and all the ins and outs of the job underground. The rest of us were going to meet them for a BBQ but due to the weather it was just far too miserable so the boys came home and we had lunch here then after lunch the family left and went home.

Later in the afternoon the rain decided to stay away so we took the family to Westbury where we had some of the YUMMY Andy's ice cream. Ryan and I got the biggest one possible and as a result we were unable to eat dinner however we feel that we managed to get all the basic food needs from it so we didn't mind! I highly recommend the lime spider as it was really yummy as was the baked cheesecake and the whiskey cream. As I write this I am so hanging out to go back for some more really soon!
