The next week was pretty busy and not so busy at the same time.
We did a lot of fun things with my parents.
Sadly, beach weather is over and so we had to get more
creative than just sitting at the beach! :)
One morning after dropping all the kids of to school I took them to this little town called Sassafrass. It is up in the Dandenong Mountains. It kind of reminds me a little bit of Park City. The older part of Park City. Old buildings, expensive shops, and cozy cafes.
Downtown Sassafrass
How cute are my parents?
I just love them!

Next up on the agenda?
Tourquay
We didn't get to Tourquay until late because we had to wait to head
down until Jared got off work
we ran into heaps of traffic as well
when we got there the kids went into physco mode
what is it with kids and hotels
its just like a house
but smaller?
After they jumped around for what seemed like ages
we finally got them settled in
Jared and I had Pax in our room
While Grandma and Grandpa
had Bost and Lillers with them
Rip Curl Pro Competition
at Bells Beach in Tourquay
Tourquay is a surf town about an hour and a half away from us.
We decided to take the jaunt down the coast.
It was seriously such an amazing thing to watch.
Boston totally hypnotized by the surfers.
He seriously thought it was the coolest thing ever.
We watched some heats from the beach.
and some from the stands
we got there early and we were all a little tired
good thing we had grandpa to keep us warm
Jared was in such heaven
he looked like a little boy at christmas
he bought t-shirts
stood in line for autographs
and well...became a true rip curl pro fan club member

After we left the competition we headed into town to do some
some touristy things
first on agenda lunch
followed by ice cream
followed by shopping
followed by a certain 7yr old talking Gpa into these new kicks
After that we just came back to our hotel room and chatted and watched tv
enjoyed each others company
and of course we had to have fish and chips for dinner
we got up the next morning and went to breakfast at a cute little cafe
once again, one of my favorite things about Australia
i love little cafes
on the way home we stopped by
Queen Victoria Market
A Park for the kids to let go of some energy
Shopping Centre to find a Crocodile Dundee hat for my dad
dinner
got lost in the mall
couldn't find our car
and then still couldn't find our car
finally found our car
finally made it back home
just in time for my poor dad to do some more of this
with Pax!
One of the best parts of having family here is that they get to meet some of our friends
Friends who we luckily get to call family
The ones who are so kindly stepping up to the plate and friending us into their circles
Meet the Bignells.....We had a yummy dessert night with them
fruit salsa and home made pavalova
They met many more friends from school and church
I loved having them get to know the people
we associate with!
