Easter and Anzac Day Long Weekend

With Easter Monday falling on ANZAC day this year we got an extended 5 day Easter break. It was a busy time for us - here's what we got up to... First up was the traditional Good Friday breakfast of loads of yummy hot cross buns. Janelle arrived from Perth mid morning. In the afternoon we took a drive out to Gnomesville in the Ferguson Valley. We hadn't been out there for a while and were very surprised at the increase of the Gnome population...


That night Nicole had a "Pimps and Hoes" party at her house as a farewell to her and Ant. We were allowed to take some photos of them dressed up before it got too messy...Nicole was "Nurse Feelgood"...





With new boyfriend Daniel...They all had a great night.



On Saturday we all travelled to Mandurah for a surprise early 70th birthday celebration for Dad.We had a lovely day with extended family members at Catch 22 restaurant.
Easter Sunday started with a yummy bacon and egg brekky followed by our annual easter egg hunt (yes they still argue about who has the most!)...



In the afternoon Dad took Sarah and I Geocaching. We went out near Dalyellup and followed all Dad's directions and found nothing, look at the expression of frustration...
It was a nice stroll in the bush anyway... Janelle travelled back to Perth mid afternoon.We had a scrabble challenge that evening with Sarah the winner...

She scored big with word "Laze".

Only Janelle managed to get out of bed early to attend the dawn ANZAC service in Perth which she really enjoyed. Dad, Peter and I went to the 11am one here...


There was a great turnout and its always nice to pay your respects.
After lunch we went over to Busselton to see Mum and Dad J and have afternoon tea with them. Dad J got his medals out he had received from his time with the Air Force in Darwin in the 1940's...


On Tuesday Dad went to Perth to attend a cousins reunion and Peter and I went back to Mandurah to have lunch and a catch up with Loise and Glen. We went back to Catch 22. A very nice long weekend.
