Ticey Treats Come to visit

Well it's been a few weeks since I've blogged and with a rev up email from Claire T I thought I better get to it. Way back at the end of February we had the joy of a visit from Claire, Rob and Emma. Claire had being saying she wanted a hot holiday away so we did that for her with a whopping 39.9 degrees, oh my goodness it was so intense. The beginning of the day was just glorious spent down a lake Currimundi which is a wonderfully safe and not too deep water inlet that forms into a lake. So being in the water the heat didn't seem too bad, but after heading home for lunch we just couldn't move. Sent the kids for an afternoon ciesta and despite having fans it just didn't happen. When I laid down on the bed I realised why, the mattresses felt like heaters with all the heat they had absorbed. Luckily that was the only day of extreme heat. Once the temperature got above 38.5 Gary wanted to feed it some pamol!

So with the very warm day out of the way the rest of the week was back to the unusual summer that the Sunshine Coast has experienced this year. Hardly "beautiful one day perfect the next". We had a wonderful week with our visitors. Caitlin and Ryan adored Emma (as well as Claire and Rob) although Ryan did get a little grumpy with being called 'boyfriend Alex' oh the competition. Claire and I managed a chic flick and girly lunch out which was fantastic and the boys got a rugby game in with the pre-season match of Warriors vs Manly.
