Saying Goodbye to Monty!

Well today was JAHG’s final day staying at Babcia and Dziadek’s House. On her way out to the car to travel to the airport, she asked to say good by to Monty and to have her photo taken with him. JAHG loves animals and would love noth9ing more than for us to be able to have a pet of our own. Unfortunately this is not going to happen anytime soon. But hopefully one day we will be able to forfill this request for the children.

Today also held a ‘first’ for JAHG. Having only travelled by car or ferry before, today she enjoyed her very first plane ride. JAHg has talked about this dy for months, ever since we booked her plane ticket with Babcia to return home to Tasmania. She has been very excited about the prospect of travelling on a plane, but also a little apprehensive. However she reported after returning home that the experience was quite fun, which is great news.

Once back home again, JAHG was happy to see her little sister and to show f some of her art work to Babcia!

Spirit of Tasmania I – here we come!

Well today was our day to head home. We had packed our car the night before and then got up really early this morning to have some breakfast, say good bye to Babcia, Dziadek and JAHG (JAHG is staying an extra few days and will fly back to Hobart with Babcia on the 2nd of February), before actually getting into the car to drive from Churchill in the Latrobe valley  to Melbourne to board our ferry back to Devonport Tasmania. It was amazing just how much traffic was still on the roads at 4.30 am as we left on our journey into the City of Melbourne. SZG and I commented that the amount of traffic at this hour of the day (4.30am) was basically more than what we have seen in Hobart or Launceston at Peak hour!

When we arrived at the ferry terminal we were greeted with the news that we would be travelling on the Spirit of Tasmania I. Until now we had always manage to travel on the Spirit of Tasmania II, so this boat was a new experience for us, even though they are said to be the same! For much of the trip, we enjoyed the comfort of our Cabin, sleeping when ever possible and just reading our magazines, books and NIK drew some pictures to fill in the time.

All the while JAHG was starting out back in Churchill on her first grand adventure without Mum, Tata or NIK, as she stayed behind at Babcia and Dzadek’s house for about another week. Lets hope she has lots of fun! As for us we can’t wit to be back home!

Fun at Babcia and Dziadek’s House

NIK, JAHG, Dziadek and Monty the Dog.

Today we spent the day at Babcia and Dziadek’s House. The children enjoyed this immensely. It has been almost two years since we have visited them at their house, yet it seemed like yesterday once we got there. Both girls were very excited to see Monty the dog and Marnie the cat. Monty was very accomodating in sticking around for photo opportunities, however the same could not be said for Marnie as he did very well at hiding away.

During the day we did lots of things, such as visiting Pra babcia’s grave, going for a walk. JAHG did some bead craft – Making necklaces and bracelets for us all. NIK enjoyed a play with Monty, who is almost as big as her and a great day was had by all.

Today the children had fun at Babcia and Dziadek’s house, before taking a walk in the evening to visit with their Aunt and Uncle, who live close by. The children had a lot of fun today and especially enjoyed building with these special blocks and things! which I am sure you can tell from the photos below.

Well today was Australia day and also our first real day back in Victoria. We spent much of it catch up with family and friends. Unfortunately time was not on our side so we only got to spend a few hours with those who matter to us. However it was great to see them all regardless. Here are a few photos from our day. Unfortunately we did not manage to get photos of us with everyone we saw today, maybe next time!
