Holiday at Middleton







We went to Middleton over the long weekend with 3 of the Grandchildren. Friday night it was off to the beach amongst the surf fishermen. Saturday saw Jacob,Alyssa and me go to Willunga to watch stage 5 of the Tour down Under. We really enjoyed the excitement of the race . Jake took his 1st photo of Grangpa and Alyssa(displayed). Later we were able to get within 200 metres from the finish line. The kids loved it but it wore us out. Playground time was next at Port Elliot and then it was time for me to take them home.
Jan and I then stayed another 3 days on our own. More beach fun and did I mention we went to the famous Bakery twice! Hard to resist

Boys Day Out




On Friday Mike and I went crabbing to Pine Point, hoping the 'catch' would justify going. Actually it was nice to hang out together without any women. We got in the water around 10am and after 10 minutes, I'm thinking, this doesn't look good. We had found 2 baby crabs which we let go, and then..... we found some large 'blueys' After running away from the 1st few? Almost. We started raking them in. It was alot of fun and in 2 hours we had caught 36 mostly legal size. There were another 10 or so people in the water who didn't do as well as us. A great day. Unfortunately when I got home I put the large pot full of crabs and water on the cooktop to start cooking. 10 minutes later the glass cooktop exploded due to the pot being too heavy.DOH! The cost works out around $20/crab. A fun but very expensive day

More Christmas Traditions

A couple of days after Christmas we went to Horseshoe Bay where we enjoyed the sand, sea and Bakery. A little windy but the surfing waves were good as were the pasties and cream buns.
Hey Jake! Where's your legs and arms gone?
